Following is a response from Senior DHS Specialist, Kerry MacQuarrie:

There are two issues; my first response only addressed one. First, I am looking at the NFHS-3 dataset (IAIR52fl.dta) and I see 9's. My % for each form of IPV separately (emotional, physical, sexual) match the table, as shown below. Perhaps you are not working with the same data file I am (IAIR52fl.dta) or you have already recoded the 9's to 0's.

However, there is a second problem and that is in creating the composite ipv and violence variables; Yours estimate prevalence of any form at 31.6% instead of 39.7%. The following code works to produce estimates that match the table, for each form of IPV separately and for the combinations of physical + sexual and physical + sexual + emotional. The code is not as efficient as yours was, but it is correct.

use "IAIR52FL.dta", clear
/*Generating weights*/
gen dwt=d005/1000000
svyset [pw=dwt], psu(s021) strata(v025)

*Recode 9's
recode d104(9=0),g(d104_r)
recode d106(9=0),g(d106_r)
recode d107(9=0),g(d107_r)
recode d108(9=0),g(d108_r)

*Physical violence
g PV=d106_r
replace PV=1 if d107_r==1
*Physical or sexual violence
g PVSV=PV
replace PVSV=1 if d108_r==1

*Any intimate partner violence 
g ipv=PVSV
replace ipv=1 if d104_r==1

svy :tab ipv if v013==1 & v501>=1 & v501<=5 & v044==1
