Hi,
I have received a UK passport of my daughter on 29/09/19 and we are travelling to India on 23/10/19.
1- Can I apply for Indian e-visa without surrendering her passport. ( I intend to surrender her passport after coming back)
Thanks

You got a grace period of 90 days from the date of obtaining foriegn citizenship (note: not the date you got passport) before you must stop using the Indian passport. If you exceed this grace period and still use it you may have to pay penalty.
So, if you are within this limit, you may use Indian passport.
Having said that, surrendering should be quick. I think you have still time left as you are only travelling on 23rd Oct.
