Prateek Hajela, state coordinator of NRC, says 3,11,21,004 people were found eligible for inclusion in the final list. "Those not satisfied with outcome can file appeal before Foreigners Tribunals," he told news agency ANI.

19,06,657 people have been left out of the NRC, including those who did not submit their claims. Every person left out of the NRC can appeal to the Foreigners Tribunal, and the time limit to file the appeal has been extended from 60 to 120 days.

A total of 3,30,27,661 had applied to be included in the revised list of Assam citizens. The status of both inclusion and exclusion can be viewed online on the NRC website, www.nrcassam.nic.in.

In the draft published in July 2018, some 2.9 crore were eligible. Assam, which had faced an influx of people from Bangladesh since the early 20th century, updated its NRC which was first prepared in 1951
