It may be recalled that after the abolition of the special status of Occupied Kashmir by India on August 5, 2019, the Civil Services Act has been implemented in Jammu and Kashmir, according to which a person residing in Jammu and Kashmir for 15 years can claim the Occupied Territory in his domicile will be able to declare the homeland.

The Act clarifies that a person declaring the occupied area in the domicile as his native area must have resided in the central region of Jammu and Kashmir for 15 years or studied for a period of 7 years or attended class 10 or 12 at an educational institution located in the area and took the exam.
