Census 2027 Guidelines Detail Rules for Overseas Travellers

Indian residents travelling temporarily abroad during Census 2027 will be counted at their usual residence provided they return within 35 days. The online self-enumeration phase is scheduled from November 16 to November 30, followed by door-to-door enumeration until January 2027. Final data from the census is expected to be released in April 2027. This ensures accurate demographic tracking of citizens abroad.
