Following this, the house-listing phase will commence from May 22, 2026. During this stage, officials will physically verify household structures and related details.
The final population enumeration process is scheduled to take place between February 9 and February 28, 2027. However, district-wise schedules are expected to be released separately at a later stage.
Once a family successfully completes the online submission process, the portal generates a unique 11-digit Self-Enumeration (SE) ID. This number becomes extremely important because it must later be shown to the census enumerator during verification visits. Authorities have urged citizens to keep this number safe after submission, as it acts as proof that the household has already completed online registration.
Are Separate Mobile Numbers Allowed for Family Members?
According to the official procedure, one household can use only one mobile number for registration. The OTP verification and account creation process are linked to a single contact number, which becomes the primary identifier for that household’s self-enumeration record.
This means separate family members living under the same household structure should not create multiple registrations using different mobile numbers. Instead, one family representative should complete the process for everyone residing in that home. The rule has been introduced to avoid duplication of records and ensure data consistency during the census verification process.
