The National Statistics Office (NSO) is preparing India’s first-ever nationwide surveys on household income and corporate services.
The surveys include the National Household Income Survey (NHIS) and the Annual Survey of Incorporated Service Sector Enterprises (ASISSE).
Both surveys will start fieldwork in April 2026 and will be conducted using a fully digital mode.
NHIS collects data on household income distribution, living conditions, returns to labour, capital and land, supporting policy planning and economic analysis.
ASISSE focuses on incorporated service sector enterprises, capturing Gross Value Added, capital formation, employment, and emoluments, using the Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) framework.
