Left out or changed by Shishya: Current (15th) Vice-President Shri C. P. Radhakrishnan left out: the site names him but prints no term start date. Honorifics 'Sh.'/'Shri' dropped from names; 'Dr.' kept as printed. Year = start year of the first term as printed (e.g. 13 May 1952); M. Hamid Ansari's two consecutive terms are shown as one span 2007-2017.

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.
