According to a notification issued on Monday, the self-enumeration facility will be available from January 10 to 24, 2027.

The petitioners had raised concerns over the Census process, citing the bloody ethnic violence and the resultant mass displacement of people.

Krishnaiah further said that the enumerator should record: Name of the caste; and corresponding caste code/identification number.

The exercise will, however, begin earlier in four poll-bound states—Uttar Pradesh, Goa, Uttarakhand and Punjab—where self-enumeration will be available from November 16, 2026, to January 5, 2027.

The training will be conducted in all districts and urban local bodies in phases with emphasis on ensuring accuracy and completing the exercise within the stipulated timeframe.

The Bench said the matter involved a policy decision and disposed of the petition filed by the OBC Federation of India.
