Women's Reservation | No changes were proposed to Delimitation Commission Act: Centre

Central government Sunday reiterated that no changes were proposed to the Delimitation Commission Act in the Bills, introduced by it in the Lok Sabha on April 16, 2026 to ensure 33 percent women reservation in 2029. Responding to frequently asked queries about three bills to allay all apprehensions in the minds of public, it stated, On April 16, 2026, the central government introduced three key bills in the Lok Sabha i.e., The Constitution (One Hundred and Thirty-First Amendment) Bill, 2026; The Delimitation Bill, 2026 and The Union Territories Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026. To explain the rationale why those three Bills were brought at this point in time, it, while referring to (Women Reservation Act 2023), stated, The Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam provides that reservation for women will be implemented based on delimitation after the Census conducted post-2026. If the government had waited for the Census and subsequent delimitation, women would not have been able to benefit from 33 percent reservation even in the 2029 general elections as the census and subsequent delimitation period take time. Therefore, to ensure timely benefits to half the population, it was considered necessary to delink implementation of the Act from this condition. Spelling out the benefits if these Bills had been passed, it asserted that if passed and approved, these Bills would have enabled women to receive 33 percent reservation in the Lok Sabha as early as the 2029 general elections. Clarifying why the delimitation was linked with the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam and why there was a proposal to increase seats, the central government delineated that it was imperative to provide reservation. Delimitation means finalising the boundary of a constituency. It is essential for implementing womens reservation. The limit on seats in Lok Sabha was set at 550 in 1976. In 1971, the population of India was 54 Cr. Today it is 140 Cr. Therefore, it is important to increase seats to 850 in Lok Sabha. This would enable fair representation of people in the Parliament. It rejected the contentions (forwarded by the opposition) that there was any attempt to modify the Delimitation Commission Act for political advantage or it would have affected ongoing state elections. No changes were proposed to the Delimitation Commission Act. The existing legal framework remains intact and any recommendations of the Commission would require parliamentary approval and Presidential assent. Ongoing elections, including those in states like Tamil Nadu or West Bengal, would not be affected, as elections up to 2029 will be conducted under the current system, the Centre has reiterated. Elucidating the rationale behind increasing Lok Sabha seats to 850, it pointed out that the proposal was based on a proportional expansion approach. A uniform 50 percent increase in seats would maintain the proportion for all states and UTs. Applying this principle to the current 543 seats would lead to approximately 815 seats. Therefore, the upper limit on seats was increased from the current cap of 550 seats in Lok Sabha to 850 seats, it said. The government also rejected the apprehensions that the new delimitation proposal would have adversely affected southern or smaller states. All states would see a uniform 50 percent increase in seats. Southern states would not face any reduction in representation; rather, their overall share would remain stable. For example, Tamil Nadus seats would increase proportionally, ensuring no disadvantage. As the table below shows, the southern states currently have 23.76 percent seats in Lok Sabha. This would have become 23.87 percent after passage of the Bills, it clarified. It asserted that in case of 50 percent increase model, the revised status (in percentage) of Karnataka would have been 5.14 percent against existing 5.15 percent; in Andhra Pradesh, it would have been 4.65 percent instead of existing 4.60 percent; in Telangana, it would have been 3.18 percent against present status of 3.13 percent; in Tamil Nadu, it would have been 7.23 percent against current status of 7.18 percent and in case of Keralam, it would have been 3.67 percent against existing status of 3.68 percent. It also stated that contrary to the propaganda, the states that controlled population growth would not face any disadvantage. As the increase in seats was proposed uniformly across states, their proportional representation would remain unchanged or slightly improve, it was stated. With regard to questions about the Bills affecting the representation of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, the central government clarified, The process of delimitation ensures proportional reservation for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. With an expanded House, the number of reserved seats would increase significantly, thereby strengthening their representation. It also rejected the contention that the Constitutional Amendment Bill introduced was aimed at delaying caste census. The Government has already started a time-bound programme for caste census. The process includes detailed enumeration, and caste-related data will be recorded during the population count phase, it clarified. Regarding questions why there was no separate quota for Muslim women within the reservation framework, it reiterated, The Constitution of India does not provide for reservation based on religion. Reservation policies are based on social and economic backwardness, as laid out in the Constitution. The central government pointed out that the womens reservation was not implemented in the 2024 general elections itself as implementing reservation required delimitation of seats. Delimitation is an extensive consultative process. It takes about two years to complete delimitation. Therefore, these Bills (including Delimitation Bill) were brought in the Parliament for implementing womens reservation. However, the Womens Reservation Bill was introduced and passed in 2023 to establish the legal and constitutional framework for womens reservation. Its unanimous passage reflected broad political support at the time, enabling the enactment of the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, it stated. With regard to the requirement of separate Union Territories Bill, it was pointed out that the Legislative Assemblies in Union Territories such as Jammu and Kashmir, Delhi and Puducherry are governed by separate legal provisions. Therefore, specific amendments were required to implement womens reservation in these regions, necessitating a separate Bill, it was stated.
