Questions and instructions
Literal question
During the past month, did you or any member of your family consume fuel, light and water?
Interviewer instructions
Enter in B1(a), Items 1 to 8, the total family consumption of fuel, light and water consumed during the reference period. It is very important that you stress the use of records while completing this subsection. If the respondent will make use of the official receipts of payments, or some other record of the bill, it will yield more accurate information and will make the interviewing of this subsection proceed more quickly. Request therefore for official receipts or billing statements for electricity and water connected in a community water system.
Attempt to estimate the consumption of charcoal, firewood and other fuel. For users of LPG, estimate the number of days by which one tank is consumed so that the month's consumption can be determined.
In case a family shares the facilities with other households, only an estimate of the family's consumption should be included. The cost of LPG, kerosene, electricity and water used by the other families occupying a part of the house of the sample household should be excluded. In this situation, ask for the amount shared monthly by the sample family.
LPG, kerosene, electricity and water used in business either operated by the family or the other family sharing a part of the house should also be excluded. In such a case, ask the respondent to estimate the amount consumed for private use of the family. You may help the respondent estimate the family's electric consumption by making a list of the household's electrical appliances in the Computations/Remarks, together with their wattage and the frequency of use (e.g., average number of hours used per day) during the month. Get the total kilowatt consumption for the month then multiply the value by the rate per kilowatt charged in the area. Enter the results in the “In Cash” column of Item 5 of II -B1(a). Subtract this value from the total bill and report the difference in Part IV - as cost incurred in operating a business.
Another way of estimating the expenditures to be entered for the above cases is by basing the amount from the expenditures of another sample with at least the same type of family membership and spending pattern.

For a family who shares facilities with other households or whose total consumption includes both personal and business expenses, only an estimate of the family's personal consumption is reported.
