In January 2020, the Anglo-Indian reserved seats in the Parliament and State Legislatures of India were abolished by the 104th Constitutional Amendment Act of 2019. The reason cited by the Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad who introduced the Bill in the Lok Sabha was that the Anglo-Indian population in India was just 296 in the 2011 Census of India, though the number is disputed.
The elimination of Anglo-Indian designated representation in Indian Parliament and State Assemblies was justified by the small size of the Anglo-Indian community in India, as stated by Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad.
