Thanks
yes you can , please read my previous post.
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.
Your ILR is not valid. The airline doesn't know that you are British so you would be allowed to board the flight in india and the Immigration Officer would let you enter the UK as you are BC now even that your ILR is not valid.
1)travel to india with your indian passport and ILR
2)come back to uk with indian passport with ILR
3)no need to mention anywhere about your naturalisation or any part of the story.
4)apply for british passport once you come back
end of story
