Surrender of Indian Passport after acquisition of foreign passport

Indian passport holders are required to surrender their passports to the nearest Indian Mission/Post immediately after acquisition of foreign nationality.  Indian Citizenship Act does not allow dual citizenship (there is sometimes misconception that OCI card is dual citizenship). However, it has been observed that many individuals continue to retain their Indian passport and some travel on them; there are yet others who get fresh passports issued by suppression of information even several years after they acquired foreign citizenship. Such persons surrender their passports only when they need to take OCI cards, etc.

2.   Since the misuse of Indian passports as described above constitutes offences under Section 12(1A) of the Passports Act 1967, which states:

(a)  makes an application for a passport or obtains a passport by suppressing information about his nationality, or 

b)  holds a forged passport or any travel document shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than one year but which may extend to five years and with fine which shall not be less than ten thousand rupees but which may extend to fifty thousand rupees”, It has been decided by the Government of India to impose penalty on a graded scale for such violations as per details given below:
