The first simultaneous census of the British Empire, covering the United Kingdom, India and the Crown Settlements, took place in 1881. The Census Act 1920 provides the legal framework for conducting all censuses in Great Britain (Scotland, England, and Wales).
All the censuses since 1951 were conducted under the 1948 Census of India Act, which predates the Constitution of India. The 1948 Census of India Act does not bind the Union Government to conduct the census on a particular date or to release its data in a notified period.
