The Union residence ministry issued a notification on this impact for rapid implementation of the order beneath the Citizenship Act 1955 and Rules framed beneath the legislation in 2009 although the foundations beneath the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) enacted in 2019 are but to be framed by the federal government.

According to the CAA, Indian citizenship might be given to non-Muslim persecuted minorities from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan — Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Buddhist, Parsi and Christian — who had come to India until December 31, 2014.
