Re: Travelling on Indian passport after naturalisation

I did the same, just got back from India.

@ban.s : I might have to pay penalty form my kids(their naturlization dates are far earlier than ours). You have any idea how they collect the penalty amount?

Re: British Passport application processing timelines (only)

When did you contact your MP and when did you get a response after that? Mine is also at Liverloop but it's been there since Mid-May.
I contacted my MP closer to 5 weeks. To be specific i contacted him on 03/07. I got my kids passport 2 days after contacting the MP.
