Under Preparation' for a Year, Centre Gets More Time to Implement Citizenship Act; No Decision on NRC Yet

The government informed Parliament on Tuesday that implementation of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), 2019, would take more time, while no decision has been taken yet on pan-India roll-out of the National Register of Citizens (NRC).

The Ministry of Home Affairs, which is framing the rules for the implementation of the CAA, has sought time till April from the Lok Sabha subordination legislation committee and July from the Rajya Sabha committee.
