After the repeal of Sections 370 and 35A on August 5 last year, the BJP abolished the permanent residency system of Jammu and Kashmir, paving the way for any citizen of the country to become a permanent resident of occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

Earlier, only the residents of Jammu and Kashmir had this right under section 34A.

According to the new rules, any citizen of the country who has worked in a government or private institution in Jammu and Kashmir for 15 years, or whose child has a school certificate here, can get a domicile in occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
