Interviewer instructions

Proprietary enterprises are those where an individual is the sole owner of the enterprise. If the owner is a male, code will be 1; for a female owner, code will be 2. Partnership is defined as the 'relation between persons who have agreed to share the profits of a business carried on by all or any one of them acting for all'. Partners may be from the same household or they may be from different households. In the former case, ownership code will be 3 and in the case of the latter, code will be 4. Partnership may be based either on formal registration or on the basis of tacit understanding.. If ownership is with a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF), the treatment will be the same as proprietary enterprises, i.e., if the head of HUF is a male, code will be 1; for a female head, code will be 2. Code 5 will be recorded for self-help group and code 6 for trust. All other types of enterprises under survey coverage will get code 9. It is to be noted that enterprises registered under Factories Act, 1948 will be outside the coverage.
