If you read the document detailing the LTA criteria, that is precisely what’s happening. The additional benefits to the 31,313 individuals the Citizenship Bill covers would include permission to take up self-employment or conduct business, open bank accounts, buy property and get a driver’s licence; free movement within India; a reduced penalty if they do not extend their LTAs on time. They would also be eligible to get PAN cards and Aadhaar. In effect, they would be as good as Indian citizens, with the only exception being that they would have to pay a tiny penalty if they don’t renew their LTAs. Since they would get Aadhaar and PAN cards, it’s possible that they would be able to obtain voter cards as well.
