Q102 (CDS-II/2015) Polity & Governance › Preamble, Union & Territory, Citizenship › Preamble, Union & Territory, Citizenship

Which one of the following changes has not been made to the Citizenship Act of India by the Amendment in 2015?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation
The Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2015 primarily focused on merging the Person of Indian Origin (PIO) scheme with the Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) scheme. It renamed 'Overseas Citizens of India' to 'OCI Cardholders' and granted PIOs the benefits of OCI status, such as lifelong visas. It did not introduce voting rights for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs). Voting rights for NRIs are governed by the Representation of the People Act, not the Citizenship Act, and the right to vote (if physically present) was granted prior to this 2015 amendment.
