Brief
The Citizen (Amendment) Act, 2011 aims to make amendments to the Citizenship Act, 1955. The bill seeks to replace the term "overseas citizen of India" with "overseas Indian cardholder" and define it. It also proposes to bring within its scope a person who is ordinarily resident in India instead of one who has been residing in India for a specified period. The proposed amendments provide for registration of overseas Indian cardholders, conferment of certain rights on such citizens, renunciation of overseas citizenship, and cancellation of registration as an overseas citizen of India. Additionally, the bill seeks to empower the Central Government to relax the period of residence in India for grant of certificate of naturalization in special circumstances. The amendments aim to provide clarity and facilitate the process of obtaining citizenship by registration or naturalization.
