From establishments that combine both the kind of activity (KAU) dimension and the locality dimension to enterprises which ignore both, the complexity of economic activities, both in terms of diversification of products and processes increases. This poses additional challenge in compilation of National Accounts, as application of major share criterion, whereby aggregates of multi activity enterprise are allocated entirely to a single industry with predominant activity, obfuscates the industry mix and limits the use of such data for products like Supply Use Tables. This paper is an effort to examine the extent of such obfuscation, present practices in handling multi activity enterprises and possible solutions - a task necessitated by use of enterprise data (MCA-21 database) in 2011-12 series.
