Uttarakhand Freedom of Religion Rules, 2018

These rules govern religious conversion in the state of Uttarakhand by requiring anyone intending to change their faith to give prior notice to the local district magistrate. The regulations aim to prevent forced or fraudulent conversions by allowing authorities to investigate suspicious cases and prosecute those who use coercion or allurement. They also prohibit religious organizations from accepting donations specifically for conversion activities and impose penalties for violations. Essentially, the law seeks to ensure that religious changes are voluntary and transparent while protecting against exploitation and abuse in the name of faith.
