The Citizenship (Amendment) Act's newly notified rules mandate that individuals seeking Indian nationality must spend at least 12 consecutive months in the country prior to application. Applicants must also prove six years of residency in the preceding eight years. The law, aimed at granting citizenship to undocumented non-Muslim migrants from neighboring countries, necessitates an eligibility certificate from a recognized community institution and a declaration of renunciation of existing citizenship. Additional provisions include language proficiency and an oath of allegiance to the Indian Constitution. Successful applicants will receive digital citizenship certificates.
