Interviewer instructions
Interviewer: Begin with say Rs 5000. If the person is initially willing, then try reducing the amount. If the person is initially not willing, try increasing the amount (eg. Rs 10,000). In this way, try to get at the minimum amount at which the person would be willing to register.
