From what I read in the DHS forums, some people suggest that for India v023 might be more appropriate because it aligns better with the way strata are defined, but I haven't seen a clear confirmation in the documentation.

If anyone has a concrete example of a correct svyset line for NFHS-5 IR data (weight + PSU + strata), that would be super helpful. It would clear up whether we need to make any additional adjustment for the oversampling in urban areas or if it's already fully handled by DHS through v005.
