Taking slum into account for sampling (NFHS4) [message #14036]

I am working with the the new NFHS 4 dataset. I am trying to figure out the correct svyset.
I used this syntax
egen strata = group(v024 v025)
svyset v021 [pw=v005/1000000], strata(strata) singleunit(centered)

However, the recode documentation indicates that the survey was "weighted by state and urban/rural, and within major cities by slum/non-slum"

In that case, should I be using this syntax instead?

gen slum=sslumc==1|sslumo==1
egen strata = group(v024 v025 slum)
svyset [pw=v005/1000000], psu(v021) strata(strata) singleunit(centered)

Thank you for your help
