From what I've read, the Citizenship Act of India specifies that any citizen of India who obtains citizenship of any other country immediately ceases to be a citizen of India. At that point, it is his or her duty to surrender their passport to the nearest Indian mission abroad.

I guess that one could ignore this and keep on using their Indian passport - but doing so would be fraud and criminal misrepresentation.



My Indian passport says:

    WARNING
    If holder acquires Nationality 
    of another country, he should 
    Surrender This Passport 
    forthwith to the nearest Indian 
    Mission/Post Abroad. Un-
    authorized possession of this 
    Document shall Constitute an 
    Offence Punishable under 
    the Indian Passport Act 1967
