Interviewer instructions

Households which possess ration card, it is to be ascertained which of the three types of ration card viz. Antyodaya, BPL or APL is possessed by the household. The BPL (Below Poverty Line) ration card is issued to families which are living below the poverty line. The Antyodaya ration card is meant for the ultra-poor and may be issued to a family if it is considered to be sufficiently below the poverty line. The APL (Above Poverty Line) ration card is issued to families which are above the poverty line.

Sometimes, households may possess a particular type of ration card being the household members employed in the police/BSF/military. Such ration cards will be categorized against the type 'others'.
