- It is designed to collect information on the consumption spending patterns of households across the country, both urban and rural.
- The data gathered in this exercise reveals the average expenditure on goods (food and non-food) and services.
- It is used to arrive at estimates of poverty levels in different parts of the country and to review economic indicators like the Gross Domestic Product.
- India hasn’t had any official estimates on per capita household spending since 2011–12.
