Guwahati, September 30:  An applicant for the inclusion of name in the National Register of Citizens (NRC) will not be allowed to change the legacy person in the claim form from the originally submitted form in 2015, an NRC official said here Sunday.

A claim can be submitted for re-consideration of eligibility based on documents already submitted or it can be submitted with additional List A or List B documents, the NRC official said here.

There is no need to re-submit the documents submitted earlier but if additional documents are required to be submitted, then any one or more of the 10 documents listed by the Supreme Court, under whose supervision the NRC is being updated, must be submitted.

The documents, which must be dated before March 24, 1971, include land documents like registered sale deed, records of land, the permanent residential certificate issued from outside the state, passport issued, LIC policy, license/ certificate. Supreme Court Asks Assam NRC Coordinator to Submit Data of Those Excluded From Draft.

"The claim form displays the list of all 15 List A documents for the purpose of quoting but only 10 documents as mentioned above will be accepted at present," the official added.

The five documents-the 1959 NRC, Citizenship Certificate, refugee registration certificate, ration card and electoral roll upto March 24, 1971, will not be accepted now as the matter is currently pending with the Supreme Court and the next hearing on the matter is scheduled for October 23.
