What Happens If Your Name Is Not In The Nrc Assam Final List

The National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam is an official record of individuals who are recognized as legal citizens of India in the state. If your name is not included in the NRC Assam final list, it does not automatically mean that you are declared a foreigner. However, you will need to take immediate legal steps to prove your citizenship.

Detailed Notes

If a person's name is not included in the final NRC (National Register of Citizens) in Assam, they will be considered as not being an Indian citizen and may face consequences like detention, or being declared a foreigner, according to the BBC. They would then have the opportunity to appeal this decision in Foreigners Tribunals. The process can be lengthy and complex, and those who fail to prove their citizenship could face indefinite detention.
