The Infobox Indian constituency template is intended to be used on pages related to Indian State Legislative Assembly Constituencies and Lok Sabha Constituencies. It is important to note that this template is not suitable for towns, villages, or blocks, and in such cases, the {{Infobox settlement}} should be used.

While most parameters of this Infobox can be used for both types of constituencies, there are certain parameters that are specific to one type of constituency or the other. These parameters are detailed below. Overall, this Infobox is versatile and useful for presenting key information about Indian constituencies in a clear and concise manner.
