Interviewer instructions
Columns (1) and (2): The three-digit code of the items and the names of the items are already printed in these columns of the block.
Item 550: bedstead: This is usually called a "cot" in India. It is the wooden or metal structure on which the mattress or bedding of a bed rests. Its surface may be made of coir rope or nylon. The item will include folding cots but not baby cots or perambulators.
Item 551: almirah, dressing table: Full-size wardrobes will be included against this item.
Item 554: foam, rubber cushion: Only foam cushions are to be included and not cushions made of cotton, coir, etc. The latter will come under "pillow, quilt, mattress" in Block 7 (item 382).
Item 555: carpet, daree and other floor mattings: This will include carpet, daree and other floor mattings which are more or less fixed in position. Doormats, mats used as single-person seats, and other small mats will not be included here. They will come under "mats and matting" (Block 7).
Item 557: other furniture & fixtures (couch, sofa, etc.): Waist-high (usually wooden) almirahs will be included under this item. Kitchen cupboards (free-standing) and complete sofa-sets will also be included.
Item 560: radio: This includes transistor radios.
Item 567: other goods for recreation: Sports goods and toys are not to be included here but under item 432 in Block 10. This item will include dish antenna, video games, etc.
Item 570: gold ornaments: If gold ornaments are purchased in exchange of gold and some amount of cash, only the cash payment made will be taken into account. But if they are purchased in lieu of cash or cash and kind (other than gold), the total value of cash/cash and kind will be accounted.
Note: For many durables such as TV, refrigerator, etc., "exchange offers" are frequently availed of by households whereby the household, by giving an old, used durable such as an old TV set to a company, receives a new durable at a price lower than the market price. For such transactions the household's expenditure will be recorded as the market price (not the reduced price) of the new durable, the expenditure being understood as incurred partly in cash and partly in kind. Note that the approach followed for gold ornaments purchased in exchange of some gold and some cash, as set out in the previous paragraph, is a special case which is not treated in the same way as these exchange offers.
Item 592: lantern, lamp, electric lampshade: This will exclude electric lamp.
Item 593: sewing machine: Machines used mainly for household enterprise purposes will not be included here.
Item 598: water purifier: This item will include "Aquaguard"-type (filtration-cum-ultra-violet radiation) purifiers as well as the older "filter candle" type (filtration only). It will also include resin-based purifiers.
Item 600: electric iron, heater, toaster, oven and other electric heating appliances: Geysers will be included here.
Item 601: other cooking/household appliances: This will include ice-cream maker, mixer-grinder, juicer, microwave oven, vacuum cleaner, electric appliance for filtering water, etc.
Item 613: tyres & tubes: This will include all those tyres and tubes which are purchased for replacement in vehicles. If repair is made only for tyres and tubes then the expenditure incurred on repair will be taken into account against this item in column (7). But, if repair of tyres and tubes is carried out along with other repairs of the vehicle then the expenditure will be accounted in column (7) against the corresponding listed item.
Item 614: other transport equipment: Livestock animals like horses and bullocks used for transportation, and conveyance such as horse cab, bullock cart, etc., when used exclusively for non-productive domestic purposes, will be included against this item. Maintenance for these livestock animals will be accounted in column (7). If these animals and conveyances are used both for household enterprise and for domestic use, only the part ascribable to the latter purpose will be considered for recording the value of purchase. Purchase of animals will always be recorded under "first-hand purchase".
Item 642: residential building and land (cost of repair only): It should be noted that the purchase of residential building and land, whether first-hand or second-hand, should not be entered in this block. The total expenditure incurred by the household towards repairs and maintenance of dwelling unit (only) during the reference period would be entered against this item.

The entry against each sub-total item in each of columns (6), (7), (9), and (10) will be derived by adding the entries in the column against the corresponding constituent items.
Item 659: durable goods: total: Total expenditure for purchase, construction and repairs of household durable goods will be recorded against this item. The totals in each of columns (6), (7), (9), and (10) against this item will be derived by adding all the entries against the sub-total items of the block in the column.
