Hi Team

I have a question related to the rules/Penalties involved

1)How many days "Grace period" does a person have before he needs to apply for a British Citizenship after completing the Ceremony(post Naturalization approval) i.e; should the British passport be applied with in few days or can I wait until few months before I apply for British passport?
Apply any time you wish - there is no obligation on a British citizen to apply for a passport.
2)what are the fees/penalties involved if a person (after becoming British with Naturalization/ceremony/British Passport) tries to travel to home country with original & British Passport (without surrendering Indian Passport) and hold 2 passports?
There are no fee from the UK side, you are free to carry both or more passports if you wish. Can't comment on Indian passport surrender.
Can someone please clarify

Thanks
Sam
