Presently, Chatra Lok Sabha is the smallest constituency in Jharkhand and comprises the following five Vidhan Sabha (legislative assembly) segments:
| # | Name | District | Member | Party | 2024 Lead | ||

Until 1977, Chatra was one of the vast Parliamentary constituencies with parts of Gaya, Hazaribag and Palamu districts. The districts of Chatra and Latehar came into being much later. Sans Panki, all the assembly segments (Chatra, Simaria, Latehar and Manika) are reserved seats, whereas Chatra continues to be an unreserved Parliamentary constituency.
