NRC by Stealth and Subterfuge | Peoples Democracy: Only in Assam did the NRC process not go through the NPR route. This is because there is proviso for a special process as per an amendment of the Citizenship Act in 1985 and introduction of clause 6A. In Assam, every person has to file an application and provide documents to establish citizenship as per the rules provided under the amended Act. The NRC in Assam was not based on the NPR as envisaged for the rest of the country.
