The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) announced that the Annual Survey of Unincorporated Sector Enterprises (ASUSE) 2027-28 will commence from April 2027 to March 2028. This survey period has been aligned with the financial year. New policy-focused questions will be included in the survey to better understand the unincorporated sector.
For the first time, gender-specific constraints faced by female entrepreneurs will be captured, providing valuable insights into the challenges women entrepreneurs face. A new question has been added to assess the investment trajectory of establishments, offering a broader perspective on the investment landscape. Handloom, power-loom, and handicraft establishments will also be identified through two new questions, which will aid in evidence-based policymaking.
The survey period has been shifted from the calendar year to the financial year, aligning it with other enterprise surveys and enhancing the utility of the data for National Accounts purposes. This change allows for the generation of district-level estimates by participating States and ensures continuity in the generation of quarterly estimates.
