Product Description

The Constitutional Amendment Act, 2019 (hereinafter CAA) was enacted by the central government on 11th December, 2019. The purpose of this legislation is to provide citizenship to illegal immigrants of Hindu, Sikh, Buddhists, Jain, Parsi and Christian religious minorities, who had faced persecution in countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan and had migrated to India before December, 2014. The CAA was passed as an amendment to the Citizenship Act, 1955, in order to relax the naturalization requirements of the illegal immigrants fulfilling the aforementioned conditions. The Citizenship Amendment Act of 2019 introduced two amendments in the Citizenship Act, 1955 (Parent Act). The first change has been made in section 2 (1) (b), which defines ‘illegal immigrants’. The new definition excludes “persons belonging to minority communities, namely, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jain, Parsi and Christian from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan” from the ambit of “illegal immigrants”. The second change is that the new act reduces the period of residence in India for the acquisition of Indian citizenship through naturalization to 5 years which was earlier 11 years.
