Interviewer instructions

Items 15 to 17: Did the household, during the last 2 years, make any effort to borrow money from any bank (item 15)? from any cooperative credit society (item 16)? from any self-help group (item 17)? The three questions will be asked to all households. The codes, for each of the three questions, are:

No ................................................1
Yes, but loan not granted ................2
Yes, and loan obtained ..................3

If a bank loan (say) has been applied for and the application is currently being processed by the bank, code 2 or code 3 will be entered depending on the situation. Code 2 (lone not granted) will be entered if the informant reports that a problem has arisen in obtaining the loan, which the household is unable to solve (e.g. the bank may have asked for certain documents which the household is unable to provide). On the other hand, if the informant reports that things are going smoothly and only certain formalities are to be completed for the loan to be sanctioned, then code 3 (lone obtained) will be entered.
