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

Delimitation: Redrawing the boundaries of Lok Sabha and State Assembly constituencies to reflect population changes (usually after a Census).

Delimitation Commission: A high-powered body set up by the Government of India under a Delimitation Act to carry out delimitation. Its orders have the force of law.

How many have been constituted till December 2023?

There are two ways this gets counted:

1. Standard “all-India” count (what most MCQs mean):
   Delimitation Commissions were constituted in 1952, 1963, 1973, and 2002 — i.e., four times.

2. Strict “every commission ever constituted” count (including the special 2020 one):
   A Rajya Sabha answer (Ministry of Law & Justice, 3 April 2025) lists five commissions: 1952, 1963, 1973, 2002, and 2020 (the 2020 one was under the 2002 Act for Jammu & Kashmir and initially four NE states). But “five” isn’t an option in the question.
