Title

Debt and Investment Survey: NSS 48th Round, Schedule 18.2, January - December 1992

Study Type

Socio-Economic/Monitoring Survey

Series Information

The reserve Bank of India (RBI) conducted, for the first time during November 1951 to August 1952, the “All India Rural Credit Survey” in 75 selected districts spread all over the country. The main objective of this survey was to study two aspects namely (i) the demand for credit from rural families and (ii) the supply of credit by credit agencies both institutional and non-institutional. The data were collected mainly for formulating the banking policies. The design of the survey was not suitable for providing estimates of indebtedness at state and national level. The second such survey on rural “Debt and Investment” was conducted by the RBI in the year 1961-62 for obtaining etc. The third comprehensive enquiry in this series of decennial surveys was entrusted by the RBI to the National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO) and was conducted along with the survey on “Land Holdings” during the year 1971-72, as a part of the NSSO programme in its 26th round survey operation. In this round, the coverage of the survey was extended to the urban areas. Fourth such survey was conducted in the 37th round(January to December 1982) along with Land Holdings as per the ten years programme charted by the Governing Council. In the 48th round (January to December, 1992) also “All India Debt and Investment Survey (AIDIS)” has been carried out along with “Land and Livestock Holdings”. The objectives of the AIDIS remain the same as those of the earlier surveys, namely, to obtain quantitative information on the incidence of indebtedness, capital formation and other indicators or rural/urban economy which will be of value in developing the credit structure in particular and also for obtaining other allied information required in the field of planning and development. Further since the survey is kind of a repeat survey of that of the NSS 37th round, it is considered necessary to plan the survey in such a way as to ensure, as far as practicable, comparability with the estimates of the various characteristics generated from the earlier rounds.

Abstract

The survey period of the 48th round has been from January to December 1992. The required information has been collected from the same set of sample households in two visits to each sample. The information to be collected in the second visit to the household was considerably less than that to be collected in the first visit. In view of this uneven work-load in the two visits, it was decided to extend the survey period of the first visit to eight months - from January to August 1992 - and to reduce the survey period of the second visit to four months - from September to December 1992. As a result, the households which have been visited in the first two months of the first visit have been revisited in the first month of the second visit and so on. To reduce the fatigue of the respondent, it was decided that unlike in the 37th round, the sample households in this round will be selected separately for schedules 18.1 and 18.2 in the rural sector. Since the land and livestock holdings are likely to be small in most cases, it is decided to survey the same set of sample households both for schedules 18.1 and 18.2 in the urban sector.

The position in regard to the assets and liabilities of the sample households is required to be collected with reference to a fixed date, namely, as on the 30th June1991. There will be a time lag between the reference date and the survey date in the first visit varying from household to household within the range of maximum period of 14 months. To derive the above, therefore, it has been decided to collect information on assets and liabilities as on the date of survey and the transactions relating to the said assets and liabilities carried out during the period intervening the date of reference and the date of survey.

Broadly, the following information has been collected in this round of survey:-

(i) the asset and the liability position of the households

(ii) the amount of capital expenditure on

(a) residential plots, houses or buildings,

(b) farm business and

(c) non-farm business,

incurred by the household during the reference period of agricultural year 1991-22.

(iii) acquisition, disposal and loss of assets during July 1991 to June 1992.

The assets owned by the households have been classified into three categories, namely,

(a) physical assets contributing to capital formation

(b) financial assets and

(c) durable household assets.

Besides collection of information for deriving the asset and liability position of the households as on 30.6.91, provisions have also been made to collect data on the transactions of physical, financial and household durable assets and also on the cash borrowings and repayments made during the agricultural year 1991-92.

METHOD OF DATA COLLECTION: As mentioned earlier, the information in this schedule has been collected by visiting the same set of sample households twice. In the first visit, information on assets owned on the date of survey as well as addition and depletion of these assets during the period, July 1, 1991 to the date of survey has been ascertained to derive the asset position of the households as on 30th June 1991. The same procedure has been adopted for assessing the indebtedness position of the households at the beginning of the agricultural year 1991-92 i.e. 30.6.91 in the first visit. However, provision has been made for obtaining the data on the amount and other particulars of borrowings and repayments made during the first half of the agricultural year 1991-92 i.e. during 1.7.91 to 31.12.91. As for the items of capital expenditure and of acquisition, disposal and loss of assets, information has been collected for the period 1.7.91 to 31.12.91 in the first visit. During the second visit to the households, information has been collected for ascertaining the indebtedness position of the households as on 30.6.92 and for assessing the borrowings and repayments made during the second half of the agricultural year 1991-92 i.e. during 1.1.92 to 30.6.92. Similarly, data on the capital expenditure and acquisition, disposal and loss of assets during 1.1.92 to 30.6.92 has been collected in the second visit.
