Re: Indian Dual Citizenship USA

As you have asked about the dual citizenship rules by India, I am giving you
information about it

The Indian government's Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) and Person of
Indian Origin (PIO) programs are often incorrectly described as offering
"dual nationality" or "dual citizenship." This is not true, as India does not
recognize dual citizenship.



The Indian constitution does not allow dual citizenship or simultaneously
holding two passports of different countries.



Here are the facts:

The Indian constitution does not allow or recognize “dual citizenship”.

The Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) scheme does not get you “dual
citizenship”.

The Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) scheme does not give you “Indian
passport”.





Automatic loss of Indian citizenship covered in Section 9(1) of the Citizenship
act 1955, provides that any citizen of India who by naturalisation or
registration acquires the citizenship of another country shall cease to be a
citizen of India.”

This means you have to give up Indian passport and citizenship to the
nearest Indian embassy, should you become citizen of foreign country.

A seal is affixed at the back of passport mentioning it is a punishable
offence under Indian Passports Act of 1957, of any possession of indian
passport, should the passport holder acquires nationality of another country..





-The Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) scheme was introduced by Indian Govt
in 2005, to encourage Indians who have gained citizenships abroad in terms
of easing travel restrictions and aid the economic development of India. This
scheme is just like “Permanent Residence” or "Green Card "given in India.

If you are already a Person of Indian origin (POI) and have taken up
citizenship abroad, you can take up benefits of OCI scheme, which gives you
same travel and residence privileges like other Indians, but you are not
allowed to vote and take up jobs in Government sector.

You will also be free from reporting requirements to police regarding the
length of your stay.

With that being said, you are eligible to apply for Indian citizenship if you
have acquired OCI for 5 years and you have legally resided in India atleast
for a year.
