An additional draft list will be published by the National Register of Citizens (NRC) authorities on June 15 before publication of the final updated NRC on July 31. The additional draft list will contain the names of applicants who were included in the complete draft published on July 30 last year but were later found to be ineligible for inclusion in the register during suo motu verification done by the NRC authorities. The complete draft NRC, containing names of 28,983,677 out of 32,991,384, applicants, was published on July 30 last year. Those left out of the complete draft were given a chance to file claims for their inclusion in the final NRC. Of around 40 lakh applicants who were not included in the complete draft, nearly 36 lakh have filed claims for inclusion in the final NRC.
