Over 11.14 lakh households in Maharashtra completed self-enumeration for Census 2027 through the online facility provided by the government between May 1 and 15, officials said on Monday (May 18, 2026).

The self-enumeration facility was introduced as part of the Census 2027 house and apartment enumeration operations to allow people to fill in their details online at their convenience through a dedicated web portal.

During the notified period, 12,60,950 households started the self-enumeration process, of which 11,14,277 completed it successfully, said a report issued by the Press Information Bureau (PIB), Mumbai.

Among the districts, Pune recorded the highest number of households completing self-census at 1,53,568, followed by Mumbai Suburban with 1,21,068, Thane with 1,16,512, Mumbai City with 61,295 and Nashik with 52,667.

Other districts with significant participation included Nagpur (37,534), Amravati (36,223), Solapur (34,313), Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (34,242) and Jalgaon (31,802).

Households that have completed their own enumeration are required to provide their enumeration ID (SE ID), an 11-digit number beginning with the letter “H,” with the enumerator during the field visit to facilitate the completion of the data collection process.

Officials said households who did not use the online facility or were unable to complete the process need not worry as enumerators will visit all households across the state for physical enumeration from May 16 to June 14.

People have been asked to cooperate with enumerators and provide accurate information during the census, the report added.
