Tehsil/Taluk boundaries are a union of respective revenue village
boundaries. Not to be confused with the village panchayat/municipality
boundaries.

I would think that the tehsil/taluka boundaries would be a union of
respective village/town boundaries.

Re: [datameet] Pincode Boundaries of India

2016-03-21 Thread Yogesh 

Hi Shravan,

You can get them either from gadm[1] where there are some restrictions 
on the use of data or from OSM boundaries[2] site where the data is 
available under ODbL. But I'm not sure whether Tehsils of all Indian 
states have been mapped in OSM and also gadm data may not be 
complete/accurate.
