Socio-Economic/Monitoring Survey [hh/sems]
The National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) conducts regular consumer expenditure surveys as part of its “rounds,” each round being normally of a year's duration and covering more than one subject of study. Surveys on consumer expenditure are conducted quinquennially on a large sample of households since the 27th round (October 1972 - September 1973) onwards. Apart from these quinquennial surveys, the NSSO collects information on consumer expenditure from a smaller sample of households since the 42nd round (July 1986 - June 1987). Currently every round of NSS includes a consumer expenditure survey (CES) which results in an annual series of consumption data. The 63rd round survey is the eighteenth in the annual series of surveys of household consumer expenditure.
The National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) was set up by the Government of India in 1950 to collect socio-economic data employing scientific sampling methods. Surveys are conducted through household interviews, using a random sample of households covering practically the entire geographical area of the country. Household consumer expenditure is measured as the expenditure incurred by a household on domestic account during a specified period, called reference period. It includes the imputed values of goods and services, which are not purchased but procured otherwise for consumption. In other words, it is the sum total of monetary values of all the items (i.e. goods and services) consumed by the household on domestic account during the reference period. The imputed rent of owner-occupied houses is excluded from consumption expenditure. Any expenditure incurred towards the productive enterprises of the households is also excluded from household consumer expenditure.

Sampling
Two sampling frameswere used for the 63rd round survey: List frame and Area frame.
List frame: A list of 1000 service sector companies distributed all over India has been used as list frame. The list of financial sector enterprises was supplied by RBI. For the other service sector enterprises the list was supplied by the Ministry of Company Affairs. For all the companies in the list frame, information was collected considering all the branch offices. A combined schedule 2.345 was filled up for the list frame companies covering all the branches.
Area Frame: A stratified multi-stage design was adopted for the 63rd round survey. The First Stage Units (FSU) were the 2001 census villages in the rural sector and Urban Frame Survey (UFS) blocks in the urban sector. In addition, for the newly declared towns and out growths (OGs) in census 2001 for which UFS has not yet been done, a separate list has been prepared and this list was used as a frame for such towns and OGs in urban sector. For these towns and OGs the whole town/ OG was considered as FSU. The ultimate stage units (USU) were households/ service sector enterprises, in both the sectors. In the case of large villages/ towns/ blocks requiring hamlet-group (hg)/ sub-block (sb) formation, one intermediate stage was the selection of hgs/ sbs from each FSU.
For a detailed description of sampling, refer to the file titled "Note on Sample Design and Estimation Procedure" that is provided as an external resource.
Two different weights have been provided in each file in the data set. Details are as follows:
- Weight for each sub sample is stored in the variable name: WGT_SS
- Combined subsample weight is stored in the variable name: WGT_SS_Combined
