Questions and instructions

Literal question

How much in total did you borrow?
WRITE AMOUNT ACTUALLY RECEIVED, NET OF ALL PAYMENTS

Interviewer instructions

Record here the amount actually received by the household, net of any amount that may have been deducted as part of the loan processing arrangements. Do not record here the amount of money that the household has to repay. Thus, it may be that a household borrows Rs. 10,000, of which 500 rupees were deducted at the time of disbursement, and at the end of 5 years, the household is supposed to repay Rs. 15,000. In this case, Rs. 9,500 should be recorded in answer to Q. 3 (i.e. the actual amount received by the household). In case the loan was made inkind (for example in the form of payment for some machinery that the household received), record here the equivalent cash value of the goods received by the households under this program.
