National Sample Survey 1999-2000 (55th round) - Schedule 1.0 - Household Consumer Expenditure
India, 1999 - 2000
Data file: NSS55_Sch1
Block 6: Consumption expenditure on clothing, bedding etc. : In this block, information on quantity and value of consumption of all items of clothing will be collected. The information in this block is required to be collected for a reference period of last 365 days. Consumption of clothing is defined as an item of clothing being brought into first use. Clothing purchased first-hand will be considered for reporting against items 360 to 373 and items 380 to 387 (bedding etc.) as per the usual NSS concepts followed so far for these items. However, in case of second-hand purchase, total value of clothing purchased second-hand will be recorded against item 374: clothing (second-hand). This is in important departure from the earlier NSS concept. Since the item '374: clothing (second-hand)' has not been printed in the schedule, this item (item 374) along with the description as given above has to be added at the end of block 6 after item '389' in the schedule. It may be noted while arriving at item 379 (clothing: s.t.) item 374 should be included besides items 360 to 373.
Note: 1. Second-hand imported ready-made garments will not be considered as second-hand. Instead, it will be treated as first-hand purchase and as such these will be included against item 368.
2. Liveries supplied by the employer even if it is used during duty-hours only will be taken into account.
