India - Debt and Investment Survey: NSS 48th Round, Schedule 18.2, January - December 1992

If the entire plot is owned by the members of the household on the date of survey, the owned area, which is the geographical area of the plot, will be recorded in acres up to two places of decimal in col.(5) and 100 will be recorded in col.(4). However, if on the date of survey, the plot is owned jointly by members of two or more households, the share of area owned by the sample household, in terms of percentage to the total geographical area, will be recorded in col.(4) (nearest whole number) and the actual area owned by the sample household in acres up to two places of decimal in col.(5). For example, if a plot of 5.00 acres is owned equally by four brothers belonging to four different households and if one of them is selected for the survey, the entries in cols.(4) and (5) for the sample household will be 25 and 1,25 acres respectively. Cols.(4) and (5) and (7) will remain blank if no area of the plot is owned by the household on the date of survey but some area of the plot has been disposed of during 1.7.91 to the date of survey.
