Questions and instructions

Literal question

If you or any member of the household take meals free of cost from employer, then how many such meals do you take in a day?

Interviewer instructions

A person rendering domestic services (like cleaning utensils, dusting and cleaning rooms, washing lines, fetching water from outside etc.) to a number of households during the daytime gets some food from each of the households he/she serves. Although the quantum of food received from a single household may, going by quantity, be far less than a full meal, the total quantity of food received from all the households taken together would often, if not more, be at least equivalent to a full meal. In this particular situation, the person will be considered to be consuming one meal every day under 'meals taken away from home'.
