It is better you apply from your country of residence. Because if you apply from India, there is no guarantee that your application will be decided within your vacation and might prevent you from travelling and getting back to your work as your passport will be at BHC. Just a suggestion.

Applications for all other types of entry clearance, including PBS* and settlement (*see tier 5 exception below) should be made in the applicant's country of residence. 'Country of residence' is not necessarily their country of origin and refers to wherever the applicant has permission to reside, e.g. for work or study purposes. Many countries will issue overseas nationals with residency cards in these cases. An applicant who has permission to stay in a country as a visitor for 6 months, for example, is not a resident.

They cannot stop you applying from your country of nationality, as you can always be resident there.
