"Understanding Article 6: Citizenship After Partition"

Part 2 : Citizenship (Article 5-11),Constitution,Article 6,


Article 6 of the Indian Constitution talks about those people who came to India from Pakistan.
We know that India became independent on 15th August 1947, and just a day before, on 14th August 1947, Pakistan was formed as a separate nation from India. So, this Article addresses those important possibilities where a person came from Pakistan to reside in India and under what conditions they would be eligible for Indian citizenship.

Explanation of Article 6

Article 6 of the Constitution states that a person who came to India from Pakistan after the partition of the country shall be considered an Indian citizen under the following conditions:
a. He, or either of his parents or grandparents, was born in India as defined under the Government of India Act, 1935.
b.

  1. A person who came to India before 19th July 1948 and has been residing in India continuously.
  2. Or, a person who came after 19th July 1948 but under special circumstances such as being appointed as an officer, or under the recommendation of the Government of India for certain specific reasons — such a person shall be eligible to become an Indian citizen.

No person shall be registered as a citizen of India unless he has been residing in India for at least 6 months immediately prior to the date of his registration.

Importance of Article 6

  1. The need for Article 6 arose because Pakistan was separated from India, and hence, such special provisions became necessary.
  2. It resolves the citizenship issue that was likely to occur between India and Pakistan.
  3. This Article is for those people who are from the land of Pakistan but want to acquire Indian citizenship.
