National Sample Survey, 2006-2007 (63rd round) - Schedule 2.345 - Service Sector Enterprises
India, 2006 - 2007
Data file: NSS63_Sch2-345_bk_1_11_12
Block 1: Identification of Sample Enterprise. Block 1 has 21 items. Most of the items of this block are coded. The codes are described either beside the items or at the bottom of the block. Items 6 to 16 of this block are not applicable for the enterprises surveyed through the list frame.
Block 11: Particulars of field operation
Items in this block are self-explanatory. While filling up the schedules, care is to be taken to record the time taken in canvassing the schedule in minutes (and not in hours) against item 1102 of this block. Dates of survey/inspection, etc. should be made as DD/MM/YY since these will be required in data processing.
Block 12: Remarks by investigator and comments by supervisor(s)
Block 12 (and 13) are meant for noting down the field-worker's remarks/ supervisor's comments/ suggestions regarding the entries made in Schedule 2.345. Their observations will be very important for understanding various entries in the schedule, particularly the abnormally high or low figures (e.g., value added) and also helps in understanding the field situation and accordingly improve the system of data collection and processing in future.
Separate boxes have been provided in block 12 first to ascertain whether gross value added figure arrived at after canvassing the schedule is negative or not. If it is negative, appropriate code against item 1202 has to be given corresponding to reason of negative entry. Codes for this item are:
- output during reference period much less than operating expenses-1,
- new unit with insufficient output-2,
- loss of output due to fire, theft, etc-3,
- high previous year expenses accounted in present year(for books of accounts only)-4,
- others (specify in detail giving the actual reason)-9
Wherever data is recorded from books of accounts, the respondent enterprise /company may be requested to provide a copy of the same. If they oblige, the books of accounts may invariably be attached with the schedule. This helps to scrutinise the schedules, particularly during data processing and subsequent stages of tabulation. If data is recorded from books of account then entry in item 1203 will be '1' .Otherwise entry will be '2'.If entry in item 1203 is '1' and balance sheet is attached with the schedule then item 1204 will contain '1'. Otherwise the code will be '2' and in that case reason for not attaching the schedule will be recorded in the blank space after item 1204.
