Single citizenship rule in India

There is a law for citizenship cases in India, which is known as the Citizenship Act-1955. There is a provision of single citizenship in India under this Act. This means that a citizen of India cannot be a citizen of any other country. Five amendments in this law were made in the year 1986, 1992, 2003, 2005 and 2015 before 2019. Following the latest amendment in 2019, this law also provides for giving citizenship of India to six minority communities of Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan to Hindus, Jains, Buddhists, Parsis, Christians and Sikhs.

India's citizenship can be taken away in this way

Section-9 of the Citizenship Act-1955 states that in which ways India's citizenship can end. There are three such ways in particular, which can eliminate any person's citizenship of India. If an Indian citizen acquires citizenship of another country on his own will, then his Indian citizenship automatically ends. Apart from this, even if an Indian citizen gives up citizenship at his own will, his Indian citizenship ends.

Their citizenship can also go

The Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India has the right to give citizenship to someone or snatch it. If an Indian citizen has been living outside India for seven consecutive years, then the Ministry of Home Affairs can take away his citizenship. If it is proved that a person has illegally gained citizenship of India, then the Ministry of Home Affairs also ends his citizenship. The Ministry of Home Affairs has the right to snatch citizenship of any person involved in anti -national activities and a person who insulted the constitution.

This is how citizenship of India is found

The first provision of Indian citizenship is from birth to citizenship. After the Indian Constitution to be implemented (26 January, 1950), any person born in the country is a citizen of India from birth. Not only this, any such person born in India after 1 July 1987 is a citizen of India, if one of the mother or father has been a citizen of India at the time of his birth. If someone is born outside India in another country, but one of his parents is an Indian citizen, then he also gets citizenship of India. For this, a child born in another country has to be registered in the Indian Embassy there within a year. Failure to do so, the family has to get permission from the Government of India for citizenship of the child.

What are the conditions of the application?

The Government of India can also give citizenship to someone on the basis of application. For this, a person can apply for this except illegal migrants. If a person of Indian origin has been at least seven years in India before applying for citizenship, then he can get citizenship.

A person of Indian origin who has been a citizen of another country outside India before partition. That is, a citizen of any country other than Pakistan and Bangladesh can leave their citizenship and apply for the citizenship of India. A person who is married to an Indian and he has lived in India at least seven years can apply for citizenship.

Citizens of Commonwealth member countries who are living in India or are in the job of Government of India, they can also take citizenship of India by applying. Applications for India's citizenship can be made on the website of the Ministry of Home Affairs. Apart from this, applications are also applied on indichiancitizenshiponline.nic.in. The Government of India gives citizenship on the basis of reports of different departments after investigating all standards. The condition for this is that the Bharti, who applies, meets the standards of the third schedule of the Citizenship Act.

They automatically get citizenship

If a new terrain is made a part of India, then the people living there automatically get citizenship of India. For example, much after the independence of the country, Goa was made part of India in 1961 and Puducherry in 1962. In such a situation, people living in these states had automatically got citizenship of India.
