India - Housing Condition and Migration Survey, January - June 1993, NSS 49th Round

Information about the bathing facility available in the household premises to the members of the household will be indicated in codes . If the dwelling unit does not have a bathroom in its premises, code 1 will be recorded. on the other hand, if it has a bathroom in its premises but not attached to dwelling unit, code 2 will be recorded. If the dwelling unit has one or more bathrooms attached to the dwelling unit ( o. e. with direct access from its rooms, verandah or corridoor ) code 3 will be recorded. If the bathroom is in a structure separated from the main building but which also contains rooms used for living purposes, 3 will be the appropriate code. As has been stated earlier, a room used as bedroom, sitting room, reading room, prayer room or dining room will be considered a room used for living purposes. An enclosed area without a roof used for bathing purposes is only a bathing place and not a bathroom for this survey.
