Question

One may lose citizenship if one ?

• A. Maintains trade with a foreign country
• B. Visits foreign countries
• C. Has correspondence with foreign people
• D. Takes political shelter in a foreign country

Answer 1

The correct option is D Takes political shelter in a foreign country

If a Citizen takes political shelter in a foreign country then that process is called Renunciation. Renunciation is a voluntary act by which a person, after acquiring the citizenship of another country, gives up his Indian Citizenship. This provision is subject to certain conditions. Renunciation is covered in Section 8 of the Citizenship Act 1955. If an adult makes a declaration of renunciation of Indian citizenship, s/he loses Indian citizenship. In addition, any minor child of that person also loses Indian citizenship from the date of renunciation.
