External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee said the Board of Governors of IAEA is likely to meet on August one to discuss the India-specific safeguards agreement but he would not like to make any premature comment on its outcome.
"Because first we shall have to get the approval of the Board of Governors of IAEA for India-specific safeguards agreement...If we get the approval in respect of India then it would be taken up by the NSG," he said.
"Exact timeframe is difficult to make but we do hope that we will get the support of the countries," he added.
Mukherjee yesterday said there was "no question of fast-tracking or slow-tracking" on the deal, when asked whether the confidence vote would now propel the government to steam ahead with implementation of the nuclear deal.
