Interviewer instructions
his item relates to how the remittances, received by the household, were used. In some cases, remittances received and income/ receipts of the household from other resources may be merged together and may be used by the household for any purposes. As such it becomes difficult, in those cases, to distinguish the use to which the remittances are put from the use to which other receipts of the household are put. Still the household should be able to identify some categories, among those listed in code list for this item, on which expenditure has been made possible by the remittances or on which expenditure has been increased to some extent due to the remittances. Provision has been made to record at most 3 such 'uses' of remittances, in codes, in the descending order of the amount used. If an equal amount was spent on two or more of the items listed in the code list
