Hyderabad: Residents of Telangana can now register their houses by filling out a form on the government website, which will be available from April 26 to May 10, between 6 am and 12 pm, as part of the first phase of the National Census 2026 in Telangana.
Speaking to the media at the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation headquarters on Saturday, April 25, the Director of the District Census Office said this step will help citizens save time while achieving higher accuracy.
Residents can independently register their households on the Census Government of India website, which will go live from 6 am on Sunday. The portal is easy to use, available in 16 languages, and ensures secure data storage and validation.
The self-registration process involves four steps: access and initial registration; verification and location identification; data entry and final submission.
There will be 33 questions divided into four categories: building/house information, household details, basic facilities, and other facilities such as access to TV, radio, internet, mobile, two-wheeler, and four-wheeler.
Citizens must accurately select the house or building during self-registration on the Google Earth map. “If the building selected in the self-registration does not match the building number in the census, then the registration will be done again manually by the enumerators to correct it,” the Director said.
This information will be useful for the second phase, scheduled for February next year, when personal information for the caste census will be collected.
There are about 80,000 enumerators who will work to complete the process for 30 days after a three-day training period.
The Director also clarified that there is no connection between the SIR and the national census.
The form can be completed in multiple sessions. Once done, an ID is created that must be shown to the enumerators.
For any questions, contact the national helpline number 1855 between 10 am and 6 pm.
