Interviewer instructions

Item 23: type of ration card (code): For households which report possession of ration card, it is to be ascertained whether any of the two special types of ration card - BPL and Antyodaya - have been issued to the household by the Government. The BPL (Below Poverty Line) ration card is issued to families adjudged to be 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. A household will be given code 1 if it possesses an Antyodaya ration card and code 2 if it possesses a BPL ration card. If the household possesses a ration card other than the above two kinds, it will be given code 3. For households reporting no in item 22, a dash (-) will be entered in item 23.
