First, I'll recommend you get a good 3rd-party source for 'financial relationships', such as Experian. Next, you might consider additional sources unique to the client, such as common or shared accounts mentioned above, if they're privy to such information. Cable and streaming services would fall in this category. Travel agents and industries use traveling together, but need some kind of context other than just families; so they'll ask the reason for the grouping to help identify a family unit apart
Then, consider a use-case driven criteria specific to the business. For example, (auto) insurance companies have a specific status code around a dependent 'away at college full-time'. They might have an annual or semi-annual follow-up to confirm this status. This would possibly lead to the opposite case of householding--the removal of an individual from the household.
Consider another kind of grouping for any special cases in the client's industry. For example, also from the (healthcare) insurance industry has the Obama-care requirement to allow an otherwise non-dependent to remain on a parent's policy to age 25.
Finally, there's never a better way to know with certainty than asking directly. The above results should just be considered 'candidate members'. In any direct communication with the customer or in their self-service account UI, share some partially masked data and ask if they should be added and then have an open solicitation for them to add (or remove) others.

Hi Ashish,
Householding requirements usually depend a lot on the exact requirement of the client and are difficult to discuss in a forum like this. If the Reltio configuration uses addresses as a reference attribute, the simplest expression of a household is the view from the address itself where the related parties can easily be seen. If the configuration uses nested addresses, this same view is available by using a pivot view of the address.
