For this, officers are officially appointed by the government. Who go to every house and collect information. But let us tell you that people are also being cheated in the name of census.

People who commit fraud in the name of census come to your house. They call themselves census officers. And enter your house and get your personal details. Which later carries out fraud.

That is why you need to be careful with such people. Let us tell you that no census officer ever asks you for your bank details or OTP. Nor does he ask for money.

That is why when a census officer goes to your house and talks about doing the census, first ask for his ID. After that verify his identity. If you feel that a person is fake, then immediately inform the police.
