Description

Definition
Like DOBCMC, DOBCMC_NP reports the century month code (CMC) for the woman's date of birth. However, DOBCMC_NP is country-specific to Nepal, as the data are recorded using the Nepali calendar. For most other countries, the CMC data for the woman's date of birth are recorded using the Gregorian calendar. The Nepali calendar is roughly 57 years ahead of the Gregorian calendar.

For detailed information on the calculation and interpretation of CMC codes, see DOBCMC (V011).
