Cancelled Passport returned along with surrender certificate

[newlybritish]

Hi,

Wish to ask if HCI London also returns the canceled passport now along with surrender certificate.

Earlier they use to keep the passport and only give the surrender certificate.

Though now cgibirmingham say they will return the canceled passport.

"Their passports too would be returned back to them after cancellation along with a certificate of renunciation of Indian citizenship. "

Did anyone surrendered at London VFS and got their cancelled passports back recently?
is there any process change recently to give back the cancelled passports?

What happens to the passports already taken by HCI London?

mansawant,

It seems you collected surrender certificate by person. If someone provides self addresed envelope then how many do they normally take to post the surrender certificate. Please advice.
