Here is a response from one of our DHS experts Fred Arnold, that should answer your question.

Attached are two files with the district codes for NFHS-2 (for Phase 1 and Phase 2 states). Note that NFHS surveys do not include every district in the country since the surveys are only powered to measure indicators at the state level. In addition, some of the districts that are included may have only a small number of enumeration areas.

The sampling frame for NFHS-1 was based on the 1991 Census in Assam, Delhi, and Punjab, and on the 1981 Census in the rest of the country. The third attached file has the district codes for both of those censuses. There may be some small deviations from those district codes in NFHS-1, however, but there is no list of possible deviations.
