The fertility of India has decreased steadily over the years due to various determining factors but the most important aspect of fertility is that it is much more the subject of individual choice. Hence, when fertility starts to decline, it would be expected that the main changes are due to be parity specific which occurred with a reduction of higher-order births. The authors have attempted to analyse the fertility changes in India by analysing Period Parity Progression Ratios (PPPRs) for each parity transition and transition from birth to marriage also. Then the total fertility rates for all the major states of India in the year 1991 and 2014 have been estimated by using PPPRs. For this study, the birth history information of females has been obtained from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) dataset. Findings show that the fertility of India has been declined over the years from 1982 to 2014. There is no significant change in the proportions of females having higher order births, but a sharp decline has been observed for the parity transition between second parity to third parity, and third parity to fourth parity. The progression of females is also influenced by their socio-economic and educational status. There is observed a tendency in the increment of age at first marriage of females from 1991 to 2014.
