Face-to-face [f2f]At present, a team of two or three investigators along with one supervisor is deployed for fieldwork in each FSU. Data are collected by interviewing the owners of the enterprises or any other suitable respondents able to furnish the information. For enterprises run without fixed premises or within the household premises, data are collected by visiting the households of the owners of the enterprises. However, for enterprises run within fixed premises, data are collected from the site where the enterprise is located. If the enterprises maintain accounts (such cases being much less in number), data are collected as per the available accounts. Otherwise, information furnished by owners is recorded after proper probing in case figures furnished by the respondents appear doubtful.

To capture the seasonal variation, entire survey period of one-year duration is divided into four sub-rounds of three months' duration each. Equal number of sample villages and blocks is allocated to each sub-round. Each FSU is surveyed during the sub-round period to which it is allocated. Within a particular sub-round, the fieldwork is spread out uniformly over different months to the extent possible.
