Surrender of Indian Passport
Indian nationals considering acquisition of foreign citizenship are reminded that the Indian Citizenship Act does not provide for dual citizenship. Thus, Indian nationals who have acquired foreign citizenship are required to apply for a 'Surrender Certificate' by surrendering their Indian Passport. Under Section 12(1A) of the Passports Act, possession of an Indian passport by foreign nationals is a cognizable offence.
