The value of hired assets as on the last day of the reference year and rent payable on them during the reference year are also to be recorded here.

Block 5 : Inventory of stock/working capital for the reference year : Working capital refers to the resources (material as well as financial) used by the enterprise for its day-to-day activity. It is, therefore, a constantly changing entity since resources available at a particular point of time will undergo change from day- to- day as the enterprise functions--part of the resources getting used up in the manufacturing process or in other connected activity. Replenishments are being made from time to time. The stock of these resources at any point of time is known as inventory.

Block 6 : Outstanding loan including interest : Loan : Any borrowing in cash to be repaid in cash or kind is termed as loan. When a loan is granted by a banker/financier, the whole amount is placed at the disposal of the customer and interest at an agreed rate is charged thereon from the date of the loan. Information on cash loan taken for the enterprise including interest which is outstanding at the beginning and at the end of the reference year by different sources of loan will be collected in this block. The repayment of loans for the current year will also be recorded.All loans incurred in cash but subsequently repaid or contracted to be repaid in cash or kind will be considered as cash loans. Trader's credit (i.e., credit given by a trader in expectation that the borrower will sell his products to the trader), amounts due to merchants/shopkeepers, credit purchase from raw materials suppliers, unpaid bills of lawyers/firms, outstanding taxes/ revenue/rent payable to Government or public bodies, will not be treated as loan for making entries in this block. It may be noted that cash loans taken for the purpose of utilising the same in enterprise will be included even if such loans are used for other purposes. On the other hand, loan taken for other purposes but ultimately used in the enterprise will be excluded.

Block 7 : Employment and emoluments during the reference period : Particulars in this block will relate to all persons separately for household and non-household workers, paid and unpaid workers directly or indirectly associated with or incidental to manufacturing activities of the enterprise. Items 1 to 13 of this block are meant for all household and non-household workers, separately for men, women and children (boys and girls)who are directly engaged in or incidental to the manufacturing activities of the enterprise. Although working proprietors(unpaid) and unpaid working members(in case of a co- operative society) may be directly engaged in the manufacturing process but information regarding them will be recorded separately for men and women against items 18 to 21 as the case may be. Information on other employees who are indirectly associated with the manufacturing process such as supervisory and managerial staff, clerks, typists, sweepers etc. will be recorded separately for men and women in items 14 to 17. Itemwise details are discussed below. It may be noted that the term children means the persons who have not yet completed 15 years of age.

It may be noted that both the terms 'workers' and 'employees' have been used in this block to denote the work-force of the enterprise. The term 'employees' means all persons, household and non-household, paid and unpaid, who are directly or indirectly associated with or incidental to manufacturing process of the enterprise. This includes all persons engaged in administrative work, accounts work, supervision and related works besides the persons engaged in the manufacturing activities of the enterprise. In other words, all categories of persons as listed in col. 1 of block 7 are employees of the enterprise. But the term 'workers' means here the employees who are directly engaged in or incidental to the manufacturing activities of the enterprise. To be specific, for the purpose of this block, different categories of employees listed in col. 1 against serial numbers 1 to 13 of block 7 are different categories of 'workers'. Clearly all workers are employees but all employees are not workers.

Block 8.1 : Raw materials and fuels consumed (including home-grown) during the reference period : This block is intended for recording quantity and value of raw materials and fuels etc. consumed (excluding intermediate products) during the reference month as well as reference year. The 7-digited CPN codes are to be recorded under col. 2 against each of the items 1 to 10 and 13 in the 7 boxes provided for it, one digit in each box.The units are to be indicated in codes in col.3. Since the objective is to record the actual value of various inputs, the amounts actually consumed of the various input items are to be recorded. If an article of input was only purchased and stocked but not consumed during the reference period, it should not be included. Similarly, one is not concerned in this block as to whether the materials actually consumed have been paid for or payment on them still remains due. Any material used in the production of fixed assets for own use of the enterprise should also be included. If no work is done during the reference month, cols. 4 to 6 may be left blank. For repairing enterprises, this block may remain blank but in such cases some entry may be there against item 2 of block 8.2. Any material produced at home and used in the enterprise as raw material will be included in this block.

All purchased fuels, lubricants etc. consumed by the enterprise during the reference period including other fuels for vehicles to be recorded against items 13 to 15. That part of fuels which is produced and consumed in the process of production (intermediate products) and also fuels consumed by the employees as amenities, wherever possible are to be excluded.

Block 8.2 : Other inputs consumed during the reference period : All other inputs which are not included in block 8.1 will be recorded in this block. These cover packing materials, consumable stores etc. against items 1 and 2 . If these are acquired from allied concerns, their "book value" will be taken as their purchase value. Expenditure on routine repair and maintenance of fixed assets and charges for work done by other concerns (whether paid or payable) are also to be taken care of in items 3 to 6. Purchase value of goods sold in the same condition as purchased are to be reported against item 7. Items 9 to 15 comprise other service costs which are incidental to the running of any enterprise. It may be noted that if the costs recorded in items 9 & 10 are found to be included already in the cost of raw materials, they should not feature separately again here. That means, cost of transportation of goods (raw materials) from the source of supply to the site of the enterprise and the commission paid to the purchasing agents for this purpose will appear against items 9 & 10 only if these are not forming part of the total value of the raw materials described in block 8.1. The other items such as postage and stationery charges, insurance charges etc. recorded against items 11 to 15 are self explanatory. Items 17 to 20 are provided to record the distributive expenses of the enterprise.The total against item 22 is the total of "other inputs" i.e., inputs other than those included in block 8.1. Interest payable on loan will be recorded against item 23 of the block.
