India - Informal Non-Agricultural Enterprises Survey: NSS 55th Round : July 1999 - June 2000

If the enterprise is running mixed activities simultaneously, it will be reflected against this item. Mixed activity means activities mixed at any level of NIC-1998. But for the present survey, we will restrict our attention to mixture of activities at two digit level in general. However, 551 (hotels), 552 (restaurants), 6302 (storage and warehousing), mixed with any other activity at same or higher level of NIC, will be considered as mixed activity even if the activities carried out by the enterprise are not separable at higher levels of NIC. This is being done since these 3 activities cannot be uniquely identified at 2-digit level as per NIC-98. That means an enterprise running a mixed activity of wholesale & retail trade or manufacture of food & manufacture of textiles or trade and restaurant or real estate and legal service or communication and hotel or manufacturing and construction, education and health, etc. will be considered under this item. Code 1 will be recorded if it is a mixed activity according to the above definition. Otherwise, code will be 2.
