Around the year 2000, the problem of reconciling the estimate of loans advanced by the banks and the estimate of loans incurred by the rural farmers was studied in the Indian Statistical Institute. Some approximately unbiased estimates were examined along with approximately unbiased estimates of their approximate variances. Utilizing “Constrained Network” sampling technique exactly unbiased counterparts are presented as alternatives.
