Delimitation freeze extended pending the next census; territorial readjustment will use an earlier census without changing state seat allocations. The constitutional bar on fresh delimitation tied to the first census after 2000 remains, but the Government has extended the freeze as a population stabilisation measure. It will nonetheless undertake readjustment and rationalisation of territorial constituencies within States using an earlier census, without altering the total number of seats allotted to each State in the House of the People and State Legislative Assemblies, and will refix the number of seats reserved for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes on that census basis.
