Debt and Investment (NSSO)

The Debt and Investment survey conducted by the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) is designed to gather comprehensive data on the asset and liability structure of households across India. This survey provides critical insights into household indebtedness, the incidence of debt, its magnitude, and related economic parameters. It also explores the investment patterns, examining the acquisition of assets and the expenditure on different forms of investment. The survey's findings are vital for policymakers to understand economic conditions at the micro-level and to frame strategies for financial inclusion and poverty alleviation.
