The new Office Memorandum from the Ministry of External Affairs clarifies the interpretation of the Citizenship Act, stating that Indians don't need to renounce their citizenship when obtaining foreign nationality.
The Act previously mandated that Indians acquire another citizenship must renounce their Indian nationality; now, it clarifies that this happens automatically upon obtaining foreign citizenship.
Children of Indians who acquire foreign citizenship won't automatically lose their Indian nationality, except under specific conditions outlined in the new memorandum.
In cases where one parent renounces Indian citizenship, the child's citizenship remains unchanged unless the parent with foreign citizenship has full legal custody.
