QUESTIONNAIRE FOR THE SECOND PHASE OF CENSUS

• The Second Phase (Population Enumeration, PE) questionnaire of Census 2027 — including the caste column — will be notified before the PE phase commences, as per the established procedure under the Census Act, 1948.
• The Phase II questionnaire is finalized on inputs from Ministries, Departments, organisations and Census data users.
• Examinable because Census 2027 is India's first digital, self-enumeration-enabled Census and the first caste-enumerated Census since 1931.
