The Constitution of India does not permit holding of dual nationality by Indian nationals. As and when an Indian national obtains a foreign nationality, he/she is not entitled to retain dual citizenship and has to renounce their citizenship at the time of acquiring another nationality.
Renunciation of Indian nationality is irrevocable and due care must be exercised in making an application for renunciation. On acquisition of foreign citizenship all Indian nationals included Minors should renounce the Indian citizenship.

As he was born before you got ilr, you would have had to apply to register the child as british on form MN1 first before applying for a british passport.
If you formally registered rhe child as british, then the child has lost their Indian citizenship.

If he has a British passport anyway, he is a British citizen, and from my knowledge that means he lost Indian citizenship as India doesn't allow dual nationality.
To travel to India you would need to inquire with Indian authorities (and you might have to surrender your son's Indian passport)

Thanks for your response.
Is this applicable for MINORS also ( less than 18 years)?

You applied to formally REGISTER the child as British and have a registration certificate. Only adults are naturalised. As this was a voluntary process you did and the child obtained another citizenship, the child loses their Indian citizenship.vnsarvind wrote: ↑Tue Sep 20, 2022 7:10 amCR001 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 19, 2022 11:45 amChildren are registered as british not naturalised.

Child got naturalisation certificate and when applying for British passport, authority just needs naturalisation certificate and old Indian passport.
MN1 form is only if you are living in British overseas.

A child can hold both British and Indian citizenship only if he acquired both at the time of birth. That would apply in case
(a) if the child is born in the UK to an Indian parent with ILR, or
(b) if the child is born in India to one British citizen parent and one Indian parent.
Note that these conditions must be met at the time of the birth of the child. If the child meets these conditions, the child can continue to hold both citizenships till the age of 18. Note however, that the child can't hold both passports (again, a limitation imposed by Indian law). They would need to have an Indian passport with a CoE-RoA stamped into it.
If the child acquires a non-Indian citizenship at any time after birth, by registration or naturalisation or any other process, Indian law (UK law does not care about this) automatically removes Indian citizenship from such a child.
Conversely, to acquire Indian citizenship, Indian law requires them to give up any other citizenship.
Therefore, for voluntary (as opposed to acquisition by birth) acquisition of any citizenship, Indian law forces a choice between Indian citizenship and any other citizenship.
For any questions about either Indian citizenship or OCI, please post a thread in the Other Countries forum.
