The [[1962 Indian general election]] polls in [[Tamil Nadu]] were held for 41 seats in the state. The result was a victory for [[Indian National Congress]] winning 31 out of 41 seats. This would mark the last time, that Congress has won more than 30 seats in this state, without the help of allies. After the defeat of Congress, in Madras, in 1967, Congress sought help and allied with local parties, to get seats in Madras/Tamil Nadu.
