There is no proposal to amend the Citizenship Act and visa rule for Pakistani and Bangladeshi nationals living in India on Long Term Visa. However, the facilities provided to these foreigners are reviewed from time to time, as and when required. The Government of India has initiated the process to amend suitably clauses (a), (c), (f) and (g) of sub-section (1) of Section 5 and Section 6 of the Citizenship Act, 1955 to relax the prescribed period of one year of continuous stay of foreigners in India immediately before making an application for citizenship.
