It may be mentioned that out of the 3.29 Crore people over 40 lakh people have been left out even though the NRC officials have officially clarified that those whose names have not been included will not be declared as foreigners.

The officials further clarified that no punitive action will be taken against them. Registrar General of India, Shailesh stated before the Media on Monday that, “Whoever does not have a name will get the opportunity to file claim/ objections under adequate time. Those left out will have the option to file an online application in NRC website or visit an NRC Seva Kendra.”
