The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) provides a legal pathway for eligible migrants from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan—belonging to Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi, or Christian communities—who entered India on or before December 31, 2014, to obtain Indian citizenship.
In Assam, the application process under CAA is carried out according to central government guidelines, with deadlines announced periodically through official notifications. As of the latest updates, the exact last date for CAA applications in Assam will be officially declared by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) after the final notification for the current application phase.
Key Points About CAA Application in Assam:

Eligibility: Applicants must meet CAA criteria and provide proof of residence in India before 31st December 2014.
-
Application Process: Can be done online or offline as per MHA directives.
