Imputation and Derivation

Imputation

In the case of proprietary enterprises, if the owner himself/ herself works in the enterprise on a fairly regular basis, the entry should be made against item 1. In fact, in most of the own-account enterprises the owner himself/ herself manages all activities of the enterprise without help of anybody else (on fairly regular basis). For all such enterprises essentially the value '1' shall be recorded in the appropriate column against item 1. In the case of partnership enterprises, if only one partner or some of the partners or all the partners work in the enterprise on a fairly regular basis then information for them shall be recorded against this item.
