Survey is done on house hold and from respective house hold's expense and income sheets are collected which is uploaded in our system by the general user. General User's then verify their uploaded data which is then approved by Site Administrator. After site administrator has approved the data, central administrator's publish them and the data is then applicable for report generation.

Report on most superficial level is done strata wise and the most core level report is house hold wise reporting. Reports generated are according to expense and quantity of the commodities purchased by the house hold's. The main purpose of survey is to calculate the inflation rate.
