Amritsar (Punjab), November 14, 2026: Residents of Amritsar will be able to fill in their household details online for the upcoming census from November 16 to November 30, 2026, Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) Pallavi Mishra said, urging people to actively participate in the exercise.
Explaining the census process, Mishra said residents can use the official census website to submit information about themselves and their families through the Self-Enumeration facility during the 15-day window.
After submitting the details online, each household will receive a unique code, which must be kept safely and shared with the census enumerator when they visit. This will help officials verify and record the household's information accurately.
The door-to-door enumeration will be conducted from December 1, 2026, to January 4, 2027. During this period, census enumerators will visit households and collect the required information from residents.
Mishra assured residents that all information provided during the census would remain strictly confidential and would not be shared with others.
She said accurate census figures are essential for understanding people's needs and planning government welfare schemes and public services more effectively.
The ADC appealed to Amritsar residents to cooperate with the census authorities, provide correct information and ensure their participation in the exercise.
