Left out or changed by Shishya: The PDF lists 99 Ramsar sites as on 21.04.2026; 40 well-known sites chosen with at least one per State/UT where possible (Uttar Pradesh's 12 sites, and many Tamil Nadu sites, left out only to keep to 40). Coaching sites report a 100th site (Surha Tal, Uttar Pradesh, July 2026) but no official list after 21.04.2026 was found, so the count in questions should not be taken from this file. Spellings (e.g. 'Chilka Lake', 'VembanadKol Wetland') are as printed. Sundarban Wetland left out to avoid confusion with the Sundarbans tiger reserve / World Heritage site.
Names and spellings are kept as the source prints them. Spotted a change on the official page? The list is re-read from the source, never from other sites.
