National Register of Citizens (NRC)
The National Register of Citizens (NRC) is a register of all Indian citizens whose composition is mandated by the Citizenship Act 1955, as amended in 2003. It has been implemented for the state of Assam between 2013-2014. The government plans to implement it for the rest of India in 2021. According to the Citizenship Rules, 2003, the Center can issue orders to prepare NPR and prepare NRC based on the data collected in the National Population Register (NPR). It is stated in 2003 that local authorities will decide whether the name of the person will be added to the NRC or not, which will determine his citizenship status. No new rules or legislation are required to conduct this practice across India.
Assam, being a border state with unique problems of illegal immigration, an NRC was created for the state in 1951 based on the 1951 census data. But it was not maintained later. In 1983, the Illegal Migrants (Determination by Tribunal) Act was passed by the Parliament to create a separate tribunal process to identify illegal migrants in Assam. The Supreme Court of India declared it unconstitutional in 2005, after which the Government of India agreed to update the Assam NRC.
After a decade of unsatisfactory progress on the update process, the Supreme Court began directing and monitoring the process in 2013. The last update for Assam was published by NRC on 31 August 2019, with 31 million names out of a population of 33 million, which included 1.9 million applicants. 1.9 million residents who were not on the list, and were in danger of losing their citizenship. Many of the [residents] affected were Bengali Hindus, a major voter base for the BJP. After the completion of the Assam NRC exercise, the BJP failed to meet its expectations. The BJP believed that many legitimate citizens were excluded, including illegal migrants. The register was created because "illegal migration from Bangladesh has long been a concern". Amendment of the Citizenship Act in 1955, helps protect non-Muslims who are not on the register and are facing arrest or deportation.
The ruling government of the Bharatiya Janata Party has promised to implement the NRC across India during its election manifesto and its speeches while campaigning for the 2019 general election. On 19 November 2019, Home Minister Amit Shah announced in the Rajya Sabha of the Indian Parliament that the NRC would take place across the country.
