Questions and instructions

Interviewer instructions

The information on inside floor area ( carpet area ) of all living rooms taken together and that of other rooms will be recorded respectively against items 9 and 10 in square metres. If a room is used without any apportioning for both business and residential purposes and the residential use is not very nominal , the total area of the room will be included for recording the entry. On the other hand , if only a portion of a room is used for residential purposes , only the area of that portion will be included for making the entry. The same procedure will be adopted in case of a room being shared with another household. ( 1 sq. ft. = 0.0929 sq. mt. )
