Census 2027: UP residents can fill in their own details online from 16 to 30 November

LUCKNOW: Households in Uttar Pradesh, including those in Varanasi district, can enter their own details for Census 2027 online between 16 November and 30 November 2026, according to the schedule posted by the Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India.

The self-enumeration window comes before the field count. Enumerators will then go door to door from 1 December 2026 to 4 January 2027, and a revisional round will follow from 5 January to 9 January 2027. For a family that has already filled in its details online, the visiting enumerator will verify the entry.

How to take part: Amar Ujala, reporting a district-level briefing in Lucknow, says family members can record their information on the portal se.census.gov.in. On completing the process, the household receives a unique identification number, which is to be given to the enumerator who comes to the home. The same report says the questionnaire has 40 questions, covering items such as name, age, date and place of birth, marital status, mother tongue, education and work.

For help, the census office lists a toll-free number, 1855, and a WhatsApp chatbot on 18001801855. If a person or family is left out of the count, the same channels can be used to report it, the report adds.

The census office states on its website that the information people provide is kept secure and confidential.

The dates are from the website of the Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India; the portal and process details are from Amar Ujala's report of 1 November.
