Every\nindividual, whose name does not figure in the final NRC, can represent his\/her\ncase in front of the appellate authority i.e. Foreigner Tribunals (FT). Under\nthe provisions of Foreigners Act 1946 and Foreigners (Tribunals) Order 1964,\nonly Foreigners Tribunals are empowered to declare a person as a foreigner.\nThus, non-inclusion of a person\u2019s name in NRC does not by itself amount to\nhim\/her being declared as a foreigner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to facilitate the persons excluded from NRC,\nadequate number of such tribunals is being established at convenient locations.\nIt has been decided that state government would also make arrangements to\nprovide legal aid to the needy people amongst those excluded from NRC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As it may not be possible for all those excluded from final\nNRC to file the appeal within the prescribed time, MHA will amend the rules to\nincrease the present time limit of filing of appeals in FTs from 60 days to 120\ndays regarding exclusion from final NRC. The Citizenship (Registration of\nCitizens and Issue of National Identity Cards) Rules, 2003 are also being\namended accordingly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to maintain law and order situation, central\nsecurity forces are being provided as per assessment of the state government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Union Minister for Home Affairs, Shri Amit Shah reviewed the issues related to final publication of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam, on August 19, 2019.
