The NRC is monitored by the Supreme court. The updation process of the NRC in Assam has been caught in a logjam two years after the publication of the supplementary list on August 31, 2019. Rejection slips are yet to be issued to those excluded –– who can move the Foreigners Tribunal (FT) to challenge the decision –– and the Registrar General of India (RGI) has not yet notified the NRC, officials aware of the matter told ET.

The supplementary NRC list had found more than 31.1 million people eligible to be included in the registry and left out over 1.9 million people.


The Assam government has moved the Supreme Court seeking 20% sample reverification of names included in the draft NRC in districts bordering Bangladesh and a 10% sample reverification of names in the remaining districts.
