A sample survey is undertaken on a statutory basis.
The results of the Inquiry are used in the compilation of the National Accounts. They are also used extensively for economic and physical planning at national level.
Commercial concerns use the results for market research, business analysis and development plans. Individual traders and service establishments also benefit. They may use the results to compare their performance with other concerns in the same line of business.
