"The MHA is likely to issue a notification shortly," an MHA source told IANS.
The Jammu and Kashmir police has registered a case.
A day after the February 14 terror attack in which more than 40 CRPF troopers were killed, an NIA team along with the explosive and forensic experts had collected the materials required for the probe.
It was the worst-ever terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir since militancy erupted in 1989.
The suicide attack on the Srinagar-Jammu highway was claimed by Jaish-e-Mohammad.
