Here's a response from Senior DHS Specialist, Fred Arnold:

To obtain a unique identifier for tehsils, it would be best to concatenate three variables: HV024 (the state code), SHDIST and SHTEHSIL.

You're correct that there is no variable SHTOWN in the household recode file. The NFHS Data documentation file (Word doc) incorrectly listed that variable, and it will be deleted from the documentation file soonest.
