India - Informal Non-Agricultural Enterprises Survey, July 1999 - June 2000, NSS 55th Round

Yearly figure reported here has been arrived by multiplying by 12 in case of perennial and casual enterprises and by no. of months operated in case of seasonal enterprises.

Record the materials consumed in the manufacturing process. Three major raw materials may be recorded in items 301 to 303. Item 304 will record the combined value of the remaining raw materials consumed during the reference month. This block is intended to record value of raw materials consumed (excluding intermediate products) during the reference month. Since the objective is to record the actual value of various inputs, the amounts actually consumed of the various input items are to be recorded. Any material produced at home and used in the enterprise as raw material will be included in this sub-block. For raw materials collected free of cost, labour charges and/or transport charges incurred, if any, will be taken as the value of the raw materials. But if no expenditure is incurred for such free collection, no imputation need be made.
Item 305: Purchase value of goods sold in the same condition as purchased is to be reported against item 305. This will show the trading part of the manufacturing enterprises. The purchase value of all goods which are purchased and sold without any transformation will be recorded here. This will also include the purchase value of goods bought exclusively for sale.

Valuation: The value of consumption relates to all the materials utilised in the process of production. These may be purchased during the reference period or prior to the reference period or these may be supplied by the household. The values of these materials are to be calculated by taking the purchase price, where purchase price will mean the delivered value of the goods at the enterprise, i.e., it will include agents' commissions and taxes/duties paid, if any. Evaluation of the materials supplied by the household will be done at the ex-farm price.
