Section 16 of CA, 1948 : Section 16: Temporary Suspension Of Other Laws As To Mode Of Taking Census In Municipalities

Explanation using Example

Imagine a small town with a municipal authority that traditionally conducts its local census through door-to-door surveys. However, under Section 16 of The Census Act, 1948, during the national census period, the municipal authority must coordinate with the Director of Census Operations. Despite their usual practices, they might be required to adopt a different method, such as online surveys or postal questionnaires, if that's what the Act or the Director specifies. This ensures a uniform approach to census-taking across the country.
