Earlier, the Ministry of Home Affairs launched a portal for eligible people to apply for Indian citizenship under the CAA.

Implementing rules for the CAA were announced on Monday, paving the way for granting citizenship to undocumented non-Muslim immigrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.

After the CAA rules are released, the Narendra Modi government will start granting Indian citizenship to persecuted non-Muslim immigrants from three countries who came to India before December 31, 2014. These immigrants included Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Parsis and Christians.
