English use for official purpose was to cease after 15 years of constitution came into effect. In 1964, attempt was made to provide expressly for end to use of English, it was met protest form states as Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, West Bengal , Andhra Pradesh and Pondichery. As result of some protests proposal was dropped and act itself was amended in year 1967.

Current position is that Union government may attempt to continue the use of English in addition to the Hindi language for official purposes as "subsidiary official language" is required to prepare as well as execute a program to a progressive increase in its use of Hindi. Indian constitution draws distinction between languages to be surely used in the parliamentary proceedings.

Constitution provides all proceedings in Supreme Court, highest country of country, in English language. Union government is required by the law to a progressive increase and use of Hindi in office work. Communication of different departments within central government may be in English or Hindi.
