The Centre redefines Jammu and Kashmir domicile rules opening up various categories of jobs in the region to people from across the country.
The order has been defined under J&K Civil Services (Decentralisation and Recruitment) Act.
In law, domicile is the status or attribution of being a lawful permanent resident in a particular jurisdiction.
Earlier, Section 35A associated with the abrogated Article 370 had given the legislative assembly of the state the power to define a Jammu and Kashmir resident.
