1.4.3 Where will be enumerated

Every person will be enumerated at the house where the household inhabited. If some persons have more than one house, then they will be counted at the house where they generally spend the night. There could be three forms of enumeration of every person:

1. Member of the household present in the house on the dawn of population and housing census date
2. Member of the household temporarily absent from the house
3. Visitor/guest

By temporarily absent from the house, it means somebody has left the house for work or for outing. Such person can stay out of home for a short time, but he does not change his residence and come back after a little time. A person is called visitor/guest if he resides somewhere else, and he left his house for the time being to meet the present members of the household or for work. After the visit or work, he has to come back to his house. If a visitor/guest does not have his own house, he will be treated as a member of household present in the current house.
