Travel to India after Naturalisation on Indian Passport

Just want to know. Are we allowed to travel to India after got our Irish Naturalisation Certificate. Is there anything called (Grace period of 90 days) thats counted from the day of your naturalisation certificate .

Please share your experiences.

Thanks

Once you get naturalised, by magic, nothing appears on your indian passport to say your have become citizen of another country. Everone in the world knows that Indian government gives you 90 days to use Indian passport for travel after you become citizen on another country.

The Indian Citizenship Act, 1955, does not allow dual citizenship. Holding Indian passport/acquiring Indian passport/travelling on Indian passport after acquisition of foreign citizenship constitutes an offence under the Indian Passport Act, 1967, and attracts penalties. The Government of India has prescribed imposition of penalty on a graded scale for the violation of Passport Rules, depending on number of trips made on Indian passport after acquiring foreign nationality (with a three month grace period from the date of acquiring foreign nationality i.e. the date of Naturalisation certificate), renewal of Indian passport after acquiring foreign nationality and retention of Indian Passport for more than 3 years after acquiring of foreign nationality. The date on the Naturalisation Certificate will be treated as date of acquiring foreign nationality and hence, it is mandatory for the applicants to produce his / her Naturalisation Certificate for obtaining Surrender Certificate.
