Enterprise Survey [en/oth]
The Collection of Statistics (Central) Rules, 1959 framed under the 1953 Act provided for, among others, a comprehensive Annual Survey of Industries (ASI) in India. This survey replaced both the CMI (Census of Manufacturing Industries) and SSMI (Sample Survey of Manufacturing Industries). The ASI was launched in 1960 with 1959 as the reference year and is continuing since then except for 1972. For ASI, the Collection of Statistics Act 1953 and the rules frame there-under in 1959 provides the statutory basis. The ASI refers to the factories defined in accordance with the Factories Act 1948, and thus has coverage wider than that of the CMI and SSMI put together. ASI Time-Series Data was collected from 1998-99 to 2007-2008.
Introduction
The Annual Survey of Industries (ASI) is one of the large-scale sample survey conducted by Field Operation Division of National Sample Survey Office for more than three decades with the objective of collecting comprehensive information related to registered factories on annual basis. ASI is the primary source of data for facilitating systematic study of the structure of industries, analysis of various factors influencing industries in the country and creating a database for formulation of industrial policy.
The main objectives of the Annual Survey of Industries are briefly as follows:
(a) Estimation of the contribution of manufacturing industries as a whole and of each unit to national income.
(b) Systematic study of the structure of industry as a whole and of each type of industry and each unit.
(c) Casual analysis of the various factors influencing industry in the country: and
(d) Provision of comprehensive, factual and systematic basis for the formulation of policy.
The Annual Survey of Industries (ASI) is the principal source of industrial statistics in India. It provides statistical information to assess changes in the growth, composition and structure of organised manufacturing sector comprising activities related to manufacturing processes, repair services, gas and water supply and cold storage. The Survey is conducted annually under the statutory provisions of the Collection of Statistics Act 1953, and the Rules framed there-under in 1959, except in the State of Jammu & Kashmir where it is conducted under the State Collection of Statistics Act, 1961 and the rules framed there-under in 1964.
Sample survey data [ssd]
The primary unit of enumeration in the survey is a factory in the case of manufacturing industries, a workshop in the case of repair services, an undertaking or a licensee in the case of electricity, gas & water supply undertakings and an establishment in the case of bidi & cigar industries. The owner of two or more establishments located in the same State and pertaining to the same industry group and belonging to census scheme is, however, permitted to furnish a single consolidated return. Such consolidated returns are common feature in the case of bidi and cigar establishments, electricity and certain public sector undertakings.

Scope
The survey covers all the factories registered under Sections 2(m)(i) and 2(m)(ii) of the Factories Act, 1948, i.e. 10 or more workers with the aid of power or 20 or more workers without the aid of power. The survey also covers bidi and cigar manufacturing establishments registered under the Bidi and Cigar Workers (Conditions of Employment) Act 1966. All electricity undertakings engaged in generation, transmission and distribution of electricity, but not registered with the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) are also covered under ASI. Defence establishments, oil storage and distribution depots etc. are excluded from the purview of the survey. However, certain activities like cold storage, water supply, gas production and distribution, motion picture production, laundry services, repair of motor vehicles and of other consumer durable are covered under the survey.
FIXED CAPITAL, BONUS, WORKING CAPITAL, EMPLOYEES, WAGES AND SALARIES, TOTAL EMOLUMENTS, FUELS CONSUMED, DEPRECIATION, GROSS OUTPUT, NET VALUE ADDED, FINISHED GOODS, PHYSICAL WORKING CAPITAL, TOTAL INPUT, TOTAL OUTPUT, BLOCK-A (IDENTIFICATION PARTICULARS FOR OFFICIAL USE), BLOCK-B (PARTICULARS OF FACTORIES:TO BE FILLED BY OWNERS), BLOCK-C (FIXED ASSETS), BLOCK-D (WORKING CAPITAL AND LOANS), BLOCK-E (EMPLOYMENT AND LABOUR COST), BLOCK-F (OTHER EXPENSES), BLOCK-G (OTHER INCOMES), BLOCK-H (INPUT ITEMS - Indigenous items consumed), BLOCK-I (INPUT ITEMS - Directly imported items only (consumed)), BLOCK-J (PRODUCTS AND BY-PRODUCTS (Manufactured by the unit))
Coverage
The ASI is the principal source of industrial statistics in India and extends to the entire country except Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram & Sikkim and the Union Territory of Lakshadweep. It covers all factories registered under Sections 2m(i) and 2m(ii) of the Factories Act, 1948.
The survey cover factories registered under the Factory Act 1948.
Establishments under the control of the Defence Ministry,oil storage and distribution units, restaurants and cafes and technical training institutions not producing anything for sale or exchange were kept outside the coverage of the ASI.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The sampling design followed in ASI 1998-99 is a Circular Systematic one. All the factories in the updated frame (universe) are divided into two sectors, viz., Census and Sample.
Census Sector: Census Sector is defined as follows:
a) All the complete enumeration States namely, Manipur, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Tripura and Andaman & Nicobar Islands.
b) For the rest of the States/ UT's., (i) units having 200 or more workers, and (ii) all factories covered under Joint Returns.
Rest of the factories found in the frame constituted Sample sector on which sampling was done. Factories under Biri & Cigar sector were not considered uniformly under census sector. Factories under this sector were treated for inclusion in census sector as per definition above (i.e., more than 200 workers and/or joint returns). After identifying Census sector factories, rest of the factories were arranged in ascending order of States, NIC-98 (4 digit), number of workers and district and properly numbered. The Sampling was taken within each stratum (State X Sector X 4-digit NIC) with a minimum of 8 samples in each stratum in the form of 2 sub-samples. For the first time, all electricity undertakings other than captive units, Government Departmental undertakings such as Railway Workshops, P & T workshops etc. were kept out of coverage of ASI.
There was no deviation from sample design in ASI 1998-99.
Please note that an inflation factor (Multiplier) WGT is available for each unit against records belonging to Block A: IDENTIFICATION Block., for ASI 1998-99 data. The multiplier is calculated for each stratum (i.e. State X NIC-98 (4 Digit) after adjusting for non-response cases.

FOD (NSSO) under the Ministry of Statistics and PI, Government of India is responsible for supervision of data collection.
Data Collection : The Deputy Director General, FOD(NSSO) has been designated as the SDtatistics Authority under the Collection of Statistics Act, 1953. The FOD of NSSO through its elaborate network of regional and sub-regional offices located in various parts of the country, carries out the field work. Notices are issued by the FOD (NSSO) to owners of the factories enclosing, inter-alia, a complete set of the schedule and instructions requiring them to submit the returns pertaining to the previous financial year by a specified date. Data collection is spread over a prescribed time frame as decided for specific ASI and the returns are regularly despatched to the tabulating agencies after conducting necessary data consistency checks by the NSSO field offices, in accordance with well designed scrutiny procedures and checks.
Data processing
Pre-data entry scrutiny was carried out on the schedules for inter and intra block consistency checks. Such editing was mostly manual, although some editing was automatic. But, for major inconsistencies, the schedules were referred back to NSSO (FOD) for clarifications/modifications.
The final unit level data of ASI 98-99 is available now in electronic media. This document describes additional information regarding ASI 98-99 data from the point of data processing. Users of ASI 98-99 data are requested to read this document carefully before they attempt to process the unit level data for their own purpose. They are also requested to refer to the schedule and the instruction manual for filling up the schedule before interpreting contents of various data fields.

B. Tabulation procedure
The tabulation procedure by CSO(ISW) includes both the ASI 98-99 data and the extracted data from ASI 97-98 for all tabulation purpose. To make results comparable, users are requested to follow the same procedure. For calculation of various parameters, users are requested to refer instruction manual/report for the respective years. Please note that a separate inflation factor (Multiplier) is available for each factory against records belonging to Block-A ,pos:38-46 (Please refer ANNEXURE-I) for ASI 98-99 data. Since the data extracted from ASI 97-98 belong to Census Sector no such inflation (Multiplier) factor is required.
Industry code as per Return(5-digit level of NIC-98)
Industry code as reported by the factories in Block-A, Item 1 has been further codified because of the following two policies practiced at CSO(ISW).
Tabulation policy: As per the latest tabulation policy, it has been decided to publish detail information regarding factories belonging to 01 to 37 of industry codes( 2-digit, NIC-98). Factories belonging to other industry groups would be clubbed together and to be published under 'Others'. Accordingly all industry codes other than 01 to 37 were replaced with a 5-digited code 'YYYYY'.
Merging and suppression of identity: To suppress the identity of factories, less frequent industry codes were modified accordingly.
Example: if a reported industry code is found as 2930Z, this is to be treated as 'other merged industry code under industry group 2930 (4-digit NIC'98)'. Similarly if the reported industry code is found as 293ZZ, the same as to be treated as 'other merged industry code under industry group 293 (3-digit NIC'98)' and so on.
FIXED ASSETS (Block-C)
Columnwise relationship (please refer schedule) may not hold true for data in this block. This is because of the lack of information available from the factory owners.
E. EMPLOYMENT AND LABOUR COST (Block-E)
It has been found that a larger number of factory owners were unable to provide detailed break-up of information regarding provident fund (Block-E, Col.7). Instead they provide total provident fund as a whole for all employees (Block-E, Srl. No. 7, Col.7). Users are requested to use Srl.9, Col.7 for information on provident fund. The total of srl.6 to 8 for Col.7 may not tally with srl.9, col.7.
F. ASICC codes in Block H, I & J
Because of the proximity of various item's description, it is possible that same ASICC code may appear against multiple records in these blocks. They should not be treated as duplicates. They are clubbed together at the time of tabulation to provide information at ASICC level.
G. Record Identification Key
Record identification key for each factory is Despatch Serial No. (DSL, pos: 4-8) X Block code (Blk, pos: 3). Please refer ANNEXURE-I for item level identification key for each factory.
Data appraisal
Relative Standard Error (RSE) is calculated in terms of worker, wages to worker and GVA using the formula (Pl ease refer to Estimation Procedure document in external resources). Programs developed in Visual Faxpro are used to compute the RSE of estimates.
To check for consistency and reliability of data the same are compared with the NIC-2digit level growth rate at all India Index of Production (IIP) and the growth rates obtained from the National Accounts Statistics at current and constant prices for the registered manufacturing sector.
