Survey on Household Consumption Expenditure: 2022-23

7 Jun 2024

The National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) has conducted Household Consumption Expenditure surveys (HCES) regularly since its inception in 1950. Data on household consumption was collected annually from 1950–51 to 1973-74. After the 26th round of the survey, the NSSO decided to conduct large-scale surveys every five years instead. The data collected from these surveys include crucial indicators which reflect living standards at national and state levels. They reveal the spending patterns of households across India.The HCES: 2022-23 survey was conducted between August 2022 and July 2023 across the entire country, except for a few inaccessible villages in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Data for the survey was gathered from 8,723 villages and 6,115 urban blocks encompassing 261,746 households (1,55,014 in rural areas and 1,06,732 in urban areas). The survey's primary objectives were to generate estimates of household monthly per capita consumption expenditure (MPCE), analyse the distribution of consumption across different income groups and assess changes in consumption patterns over time.This survey report contains three chapters and a set of summary statements: Introduction (Chapter One); Survey Method and Estimation of MPCE (Chapter Two); and Summary of Findings (Chapter Three). Detailed tables are also provided in four appendices: Appendix A contains detailed tables of indicators like MPCE and per capita consumption at the State/UT level...
