Socio-Economic/Monitoring Survey Series Information
Since its inception, the National Sample Survey (NSS) had been collecting data on consumer expenditure in every round up to the 29th round (1972-73). After the 26th round of the survey, the Governing Council of National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) decided to undertake the surveys on consumer expenditure and employment and unemployment together once in every five years. Accordingly, programme of quinquennial surveys was conducted in the 27th, 32nd, 38th, 43rd, 50th and 55th rounds since 1972-73. Planners and research workers also felt the need for an annual series on consumer expenditure. The Governing council, therefore, decided that an annual survey on consumer expenditure would be undertaken on a thin sample basis in the intervening rounds between successive quinquennial rounds. The annual series started from the 42nd round (July 1986-June 1987). The present survey is the sixteenth of an annual series of surveys of household consumer expenditure. It was conducted during January to June 2004. In this round, two types of consumer expenditure schedules were canvassed. This is because 7 days reference period was recommended for items of edible oil, egg, fish and meat, vegetables, fruits, spices, beverages, processed food, pan, tobacco and intoxicants on the basis of results of 'Pilot Survey on Suitability of Different Reference Periods for Measuring Household Consumption (January - June 2000)'. Since the usual reference period for these items is 30 days, it is necessary to build up adjustment factors for comparing the estimates of earlier rounds. The two schedule types differ only in respect of reference period of these items. Schedule Type 1 uses 30 days reference period while Schedule Type 2 uses 7 days reference period. For all other items, the reference period used in Schedule Type 1 is the same as that used in Schedule Type 2.ID Number DDI-IND-MOSPI-NSSO-60Rnd-Sch1-Jan-June2004 |

Abstract
The National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) has been carrying out All-India surveys on consumer expenditure. While some of these smaller-scale surveys are spread over a full year and others over six months only, the quinquennial (full-scale) surveys have all been of a full year's duration. Household consumer expenditure is measured as the expenditure incurred by a household on domestic account during a specified period, called reference period. It includes the imputed values of goods and services, which are not purchased but procured otherwise for consumption. In other words, it is the sum total of monetary values of all the items (i.e. goods and services) consumed by the household on domestic account during the reference period. Any expenditure incurred towards the productive enterprises of the households is also excluded from household consumer expenditure. To minimise recall errors, a very detailed item classification is adopted to collect information, including items of food, items of fuel, items of clothing, bedding and footwear, items of educational and medical expenses, items of durable goods and other items. The schedule has also collected some other household particulars including age, sex and educational level etc. of each household member.Kind of Data
