>>Not sure about India

Not had this experience to comment on this first hand.

But as an Indian, I guess they ask you to surrender your Passport at the Indian embassy, and then ask you to apply for a PIO(Person of Indian origin) card.



How does the Indian government know that a person has another citizenship?


One way is when we enter India at borders, they check out exit dates in system. Usually people who are still indians would have US's some kind of visa. US Citizens will not be able to show any US visa.

There are heavy fines for not self surrendering the indian passport after US Citizenship within 6 months.


I think one way is taxes. But I guess there will be some sharing of databases.

On the other hand, I think, putting your US citizenship on risk for maintaining a illegal status would not make sense for a lot of people.
