Monthly rent (actual of imputed for urban only)

Interviewer instructions

The information will be collected for households of urban areas only. Actual monthly rent of the dwelling unit will be noted if it is taken on rent. But if a household in urban areas is not residing in a rented house that is, residing in a house which is either owned or otherwise occupied without paying any rent, than the rent will be imputed considering as if it was taken on rent. Imputation will be done on the basis of prevailing rate of rent for similar house in the locality or surrounding areas. It may be mentioned in this connection that, rent does not include any salami/pugree or any kind of cess payable to local self-government or to government. It is merely an amount payable to the owner or to some other party as per contract between the occupier and the persons who lets it out. A household may occupy a dwelling unit which is neither owned nor hired in. In such cases also the imputed rent will be recorded.
