India's admin2 subdivisions are not updated for some admin1 divisions. For example, API call(
http://api.geonames.org/childrenJSON?geonameId=1270770&username=demo
) for children of Gujarat (admin1 division of India) returns 26 results (i.e. admin2 subdivisions). However, wikipedia (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_districts_of_Gujarat
) tells that in 2013, the number of admin2 subdivisions of Gujarat were increased from 26 to 33.
Same goes for NCT. The API (
http://api.geonames.org/childrenJSON?geonameId=1273293&username=demo
) returns 9 results but Wikipedia (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_districts_of_Delhi
) tells that admin2 subdivision have been increased to 11.
I have only tested for these two divisions yet. Here is the list of all current number of admin2 subdivisions for all admin1 divisions of india.

thanks prak for pointing this out.
Do you know an official source with all the districts and their codes?
