Yes. Through legislation or through government notification. Changes in Cadastral boundaries / Revenue village boundaries are usually done through government notification. > > I would correct the admin_level values to closely match the same values > used for countries around the world[1]. 2=national, 4=state, 6=district, > 8=sub district, 10=revenue village (The odd numbers used for any groupings > in between) > > # Political Boundaries > > Boundaries defined by the election commission and redrawn after each > census by the Delimitation Commission [2]. The list currently covers the > parliament and assembly constituencies, but no boundaries for local bodies. > These are the boundaries defined by the Election Commission of India and Delimitation Commission of India.

See: http://www.ceo.kerala.gov.in/pdf/03-DELIMITATION/01-FO-KERALA.pdf Legislative Assembly Constituency is defined as, that one will fit within the boundaries of a revenue district. A revenue district will include several such Legislative Assembly Constituencies. The Parliament Constituency is defined as a grouping of Legislative Assembly Constituencies and which may span through more than one revenue district.
