A tehsil (, also known as tahsil, taluka, or taluk) is a local unit of administrative division in some countries of South Asia.

Indian State
India is a federal union comprising 28 states and 8 union territories, with a total of 36 entities. The states and union territories are further subdivided into districts and smaller administrative divisions.
