No way they are understated IMO.
Rather there is a chance of overcounting because even in my case I am currently living in Mumbai and I was counted here also and later I found that even my parents had given my name in my hometown also.
New Delhi: India now has a population of 1.21 billion according to the latest Census figures released by the Home Secretary and the Registrar General of India on Thursday. This is an increase of 181 million people since the last Census - nearly equivalent to the population of Brazil.
India's population is now bigger than the combined population of USA, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan and Bangladesh, says the Census report. Uttar Pradesh is the most populous state and the combined population of UP and Maharashtra is bigger than USA.
Of the total population, 623.7 million are males and 586.5 million are females.
However, the population grew at a rate of 17.64 percent which is the sharpest reduction in growth rate ever.
While Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Puducherry has the highest population growth rate of about 55 percent, Nagaland has the lowest.
The density of population is highest in Delhi, followed by Chandigarh.
The 2011 Census report also shows that India now has a child sex ratio of 914 female against 1,000 male - the lowest since Independence.
This is the 15th Census conducted since 1872. It was carried out in two phases, covering 640 districts and 5924 sub-districts.
The cost of the counting exercise is 22,000 million.

"Jammu and Kashmir, Bihar and Gujarat show decline in sex ratio while 29 states show an increase," added the Census Commissioner.
india's literacy rate rises up to 74% from 68% in 2007
Uttar Pradesh is the most populous state and the most populous district is Thane in Maharashtra.
Some 2.5 million officials visited households in about 7,000 towns and 600,000 villages.
74% is the national average now, what is the youth of India's average?? I remember it was 80+%, what is it now? They matter the most.
I didn't do anything.... I am still a virgin...
population grow rate 17 %
holy moly, it should be 1-2 %
That was for the whole decade, even 1-2% per year is very high. For a country like India, it should be below 1%.
Similar kind of Double Counting happened in my case as well,
While undertaking a gargantuan exercise of the like of census of India, there are bound to be many cases of 'double counting', this will be offset by the cases of 'non counting' which will also happen in the major cities. Like wise, a small percentage of the population is expected to be temporarily abroad and is not included in the counting even though it maybe expected back soon as others will be going out at the same time. This is the floating population which is too minuscule to affect the national or regional trends.
its not because people of UP are more reproductive than other indian states....
the land of UP (Ganga- Yamuna plains) are most fertile in the world.... so resources to live life are very easily available here....
two child program wont work here.... the reason is even if we managed to implement this policy strictly we cant stop immigrants from other states and nepal from settling here....
