- ASUSE 2025 is the Annual Survey of Unincorporated Sector Enterprises conducted by MoSPI's National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) covering non-agricultural proprietorships, partnerships (excl. LLPs), co-operatives and societies/trusts in Manufacturing, Trade and Other Services.
- Pegs India's unincorporated non-agri base at 7.92 crore establishments employing ~12.81 crore workers, the bulk of India's informal economy and a core MSME-employment dataset.
- Examinable because it feeds the GDP/GVA back-series, MSME policy, female entrepreneurship narrative, and digital adoption metrics — recurring in Prelims (institutions/surveys) and Mains GS-III (growth, employment, informal sector).
