What all rights do we lose when we give up the Indian citizenship?
India, the seventh-largest country in the world is located in South Asia. It is the second-most populous country in the world.
There are many of the Indians who go to foreign countries (especially to USA, Canada, UAE, Qatar, Australia etc.) as expats to work or study over there. Many of them even want to settle there if the country allows them. After, a period of time, one can apply for citizenship in various countries.
For this, one will need to give up there home country, India’s citizenship. This is a major decision taken by them. The foreign citizenship is not good always.
Here are the rights which will be taken off by Indian government for giving up the Indian citizenship:
