"Our job is to compete the task at hand. We have been emphasizing that the draft of the NRC will be published after which there are provisions of claims and objections under the rules. What happens after the final NRC is published is a different issue," said Gauba.
He added, "We have rules of law and whatever happens will be under the judicial process. Let's not make any presumption," he said in reference to a question on what policy the Centre has for deporting unlawful foreigners known after the NRC update process is over. The first draft shall be revealed on January 1, in an instant after the expiry of the December 31 middle of the night closing date set by means of the Supreme Court. Citizenship claims of about 2.38 crore other people out of a complete 3.28 crore applicants had been verified thus far. The soon-to-be revealed draft will comprise the names of Indian voters who passed this workout. "The job of the RGI is to scrutinize documents of each applicant irrespective of caste and creed. The process has been done systematically," he said.

There will opportunities for subsequent verification of documents and the there is also a provision for claims and objections under the rules," he added.
