New Delhi The Union government on Monday issued the rules for the Citizenship Act, or CAA, four years after the controversial law was passed to fast-track citizenship to non-Muslims who entered India from three neighbouring countries — Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh — on or before December 31, 2014. Read here: CAA rules notified: BJP fulfils another promise made in 2019 poll manifesto Announcing the notification, which was expected after several ministers and officials over the past few months said that the rules would be released before this summer’s general elections, Union home minister Amit Shah said on X: “The Modi government notified the Citizenship rules, 2024. The process: The CAA rules, 2024, have a provision which states that refugees from six minority communities from three countries applying for grant of citizenship by registration or naturalisation will have to submit an application, an affidavit verifying the correctness of the statements made in it, another affidavit from an Indian citizen testifying to their character, and a declaration that they are familiar with one of the languages specified in the eighth schedule to the Constitution of India. The rules also state the applicants will have to provide an eligibility certificate issued by a locally reputed community institution confirming that the person belongs to “Hindu/ Sikh/ Buddhist/ Jain/ Parsi/ Christian community and continues to be a member of the above mentioned community.” The delay: Even after the law was passed by the Parliament on December 11, 2019, and notified within 24 hours, CAA could not come into effect as rules were not notified.
