the source of household's income from gainful activity ( for the definition of 'gainful activity', reference may be made to para 6.8.2 (a) .if a household as no such income, the livelihood class will be 'others' (code 99). If household's income is mostly from one source, there will not be any difficulty in classifying its livelihood class. But, if the members of the household, excluding those employed by the household and the paying guests, derive their income from more than one source listed under livelihood class codes at the bottom of the block in the schedule, the source which has fetched the maximum income during the last 365 days will be the livelihood class for the household and the corresponding code is to be entered against this item.
