The 2021 Census of India has reportedly been postponed once again. The office of the Registrar General of India (RGI) has asked states and union territories to freeze administrative boundaries for the decennial exercise by January 1, 2024, extending the deadline. The Census was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and it will now likely be conducted only after the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
