How many Delimitation Commissions have been constituted by the Government of India till December 2023?

Answer: D. Four Delimitation Commissions have been constituted in India till December 2023. Delimitation Commissions are quasi-judicial bodies set up to redraw the boundaries of Lok Sabha and Legislative Assembly constituencies based on census data. The four commissions to date: (1) 1952 — first commission under the Delimitation Commission Act 1952. (2) 1962 — second commission after 1961 Census. (3) 1972 — third commission after 1971 Census. (4) 2002 — fourth commission under the Delimitation Act 2002, work completed in 2008. A fifth commission was constituted in 2020 specifically for the UT of Jammu and Kashmir and Northeast states (Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Nagaland), but this is a regional limited-scope commission rather than a national one. The standard count cited in official sources up to December 2023 remains four. Source: syllabus Indian Constitution at Work Ch 3 (Election and Representation) / Election Commission of India.
