RBI launches the November 2026 round of Urban Consumer Confidence Survey

The Reserve Bank of India has announced the initiation of the November 2026 installment of the Urban Consumer Confidence Survey (UCCS). This survey aims to gather qualitative feedback from households concerning their perspectives on various economic aspects, including the overall economic condition, employment landscape, inflation rates, household income, and spending habits.

The UCCS is periodically carried out in 19 major cities across India, such as Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, Chandigarh, Chennai, Delhi, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Jammu, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, Nagpur, Patna, Raipur, Ranchi, and Thiruvananthapuram.

The findings from this survey play a crucial role in shaping monetary policy. To facilitate the collection of data, the survey is scheduled to be conducted by M/s Hansa Research Group Pvt. Ltd. in collaboration with the Reserve Bank of India. Selected households will be contacted by the agency to participate in the survey, where they are asked to share their responses.

However, individuals who are not approached by the agency can still take part in the survey by providing their feedback through the provided survey schedule, which is accessible via a link.

Those who choose to participate can submit their completed survey schedule electronically to the designated email address mentioned in the survey materials. For any inquiries or clarifications regarding the survey, interested parties are encouraged to reach out to the Director, Division of Household Surveys, Department of Statistics and Information Management at the Reserve Bank of India.
