The Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 contains specific provisions for exemption. Section 6 of the Act states that nothing in this section shall apply to the tribal areas of Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram as included in the Sixth Schedule to the Constitution, and the area covered under ‘The Inner Line’ notified under the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation, 1873. Therefore, the Sixth Schedule areas are explicitly exempted from the purview of the CAA 2019.
