Solution

The correct option is C Both 1 and 2

Explanation:

  • Statement 1 is correct. The National Population Register is a register of usual residents of the country and is based on self-declaration. Hence it includes both citizens as well as foreigners. This is because a usual resident can be anyone who is staying at a place for more than 6 months.
  • Statement 2 is correct. As per section 14A of the Citizenship Act 1955, it is mandatory for every “usual resident of India” to register in the NPR.
