According to India Today, an additional exclusion list with the names of 1,02,462 people to the draft NRC was published in Assam. These 1 lakh names have been excluded in the register of citizens as they were found ineligible to be in the final draft.

These people will have the opportunity to file their claims at the designated NRC Seva Kendras (NSKs) till July 11.
