The Census exercise is going to be undertaken by 2027 in major part of the country.
Last Census took place in 2011 and next Census after it was to be undertaken in 2020-21 but got delayed due to COVID.
The reference date for Uttarakhand & other hilly areas is October 1, 2026 . For rest of India it is March 1,2027.
The Delimitation exercise will begin after the Census.
Caste enumeration will begin alongside the Census but it is unlikely to trigger major affirmative action & review on upper limit of 50% for caste based reservation.
Also implementation of women's 33% reservation in Lok Sabha & State legislative assemblies ( 128th CAA) is contingent upon Delimitation exercise.
