I want to emphatically say that this is only a draft and not the Final NRC. Everyone will have the opportunity to file Claims / Objections as per provision in the law. Only after the disposal of claims and objections, the Final NRC will be published. pic.twitter.com/7UweZiyvJt

In the final draft, 2,89,84,677 out of a total of 3,29,91,384 applicants have been included but 40,07,707 applicants names missing.
