- The cut-off date for updating the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam is 24 March 1971.
- This date was chosen because it marks the day before the Indo-Bangladesh war began, leading to a large influx of refugees from Bangladesh into India
- During the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War, a large number of people fled from Bangladesh (then East Pakistan) to Assam and other parts of India to escape violence and persecution.
- The Indian government decided that anyone who entered Assam after 24 March, 1971, would be considered an illegal immigrant.
- This cut-off date was officially enshrined in the Assam Accord, an agreement signed between the Indian government and leaders of the Assam Movement in 1985.
- The Assam Movement, led by the All Assam Students Union (AASU), demanded the identification and deportation of illegal immigrants.
