Notification No. G.S.R 172(E); Dated: 11.03.2024
The Central Government has notified the Citizenship (Amendment) Rules, 2024. A new rule 10A has been inserted relating to the application process for the grant of citizenship by registration or naturalization. It states that an application for a grant of citizenship from a person eligible u/s 6B shall be entertained only upon fulfilment of certain specific conditions.
Further, the application must be submitted by applicant in an electronic form to the Empowered Committee through the District Level Committee as notified by the Government. On submission of the application, an acknowledgement in Form IX shall be generated electronically.
In case, an applicant fails to appear in person to subscribe to the application and take oath of allegiance despite giving reasonable opportunities, the District Level Committee must forward such application to the Empowered Committee for consideration of refusal.
The Empowered Committee may scrutinise the application for grant of citizenship by registration or naturalisation submitted by an applicant to ensure that the application is complete in all respects and that the applicant satisfies all the conditions laid down in section 6B. These norms shall come into force on the date of publication in the Official Gazette.
