For India NFHS-5, v021 is the PSU (cluster), and v022 is the standard stratification variable (usually urban/rural within state). Although some suggest v023, DHS recommends v022 for stratification.

The weight v005 already accounts for oversampling and complex design, so no further adjustment is needed. Just ensure to subset your sample (women 15-49 with a live birth in 5 years) before analysis.
