· NRC is conducted by The Registrar General of India.
· NRC unofficially has assured that applicants whose claims and objections are rejected will not face any penalty.
· Over 40 lakh of the 3.29 crore applicants had found their names missing from the complete draft of the register, that seeks to prove citizenship and weed out illegal immigrants, released on July 30 ,2018.
· Those left out can file claims to be included.
· Anyone can file objections against inclusion on ineligible applicants in the complete draft.
· Corrections of names, age and other details would also take place simultaneously.
· But due to confusion about the process there were rumours that if objections raised against inclusion of ineligible persons lacked proof, penalty might be imposed on the individual who raised objection.
· Form of objections are not available yet.
· The filled forms for claims and objections have to be deposited in NRC centres of the applicants while corrections can be made online.
· The final NRC list would be published only after disposal of all claims, objections and corrections.
