CITIZENSHIP ACT PASSED - YEAR END REVIEW-2005
GRANT OF OVERSEAS INDIAN CITIZENSHIP (OIC)
New Dlehi, Dec. 29, 2005
The promulgation of the Citizenship (Amendment)
Ordinance, 2005 on 28th June this year was a significant
step. Later, the Parliament passed the Citizenship
(Amendment) Act, which replaced this Ordinance.
It has now been duly notified and is being implemented.
According to this Act, all the people of Indian
origin in various countries, except Pakistan and
Bangladesh, whose parents/grandparents migrated
from India after 26th January 1950 or were eligible
to become Indian citizen on 26th January 1950, or
belonged to a territory that became part of India
after 15th August 1947, will become eligible to
be registered as the Overseas Citizens of India
(OCI). Now, all legal steps in this direction have
been completed. All Indian Missions in the foreign
countries have been notified about the Act and its
various provisions. The facility is all set to formally
roll out in January, 2006.
