Note: The name of the head of the family cannot be changed once entered, so ensure it is accurate.
Enter the OTP received from the login portal and click "Verify OTP".

After verification, a window will open with fields for State, District, and PIN Code.
Select your specific Village/Town/Ward from the dropdown menu.
A map will appear. Use the search bar to find a nearby landmark.
Carefully pin your residence's exact location on the map. You will be asked, "Confirm location?"; click "Yes" to proceed.

📝 Filling Out the Details

Once satisfied, click "Save" and then "Submit".
Important: Once you click Submit, no further changes can be made.
A confirmation message will be sent to your registered mobile number and email.

What Happens Next?

When the official enumerator visits your area, simply provide them with your Self-Enumeration reference number. They will verify the information, making the process quick and hassle-free for your family.
