That is what they will write. If they cancel the provious passport for a new Indian one thenit is simply stamped CANCELLED and the in the observations page they will write "The holder has previously travelled on passport no ----- dt ---- issued at --- which was 1. Cancelled and returned to the ...
Hi Benz52, I think the answer should be YES . Indian Govt is simply interested in knowing that you have acquired another nationality and so they need you to surrender your Indian Passports. So you should be able to do it with naturalisation certificate which proves you have acquired British National...
I personally think that after the ordeal you go through for getting an OCI/PIO/Tourist Visa, you are so relieved to have everything sorted that you don't care anymore! You are right in saying that the passport is automatically void once one attains foreign nationality, so I don't know why the need ...
Hi Wanderer Hi Mochyn I would agree with Wanderer.

Dear friends, I still hold an India passport. I find it disgusting about HCI (Govt of India)charging for surrender of passports. Govt of India knows that even after acquiring other passport/Nationality people will travel to India so they are just trying to make money out of this.This needs to be fou...
