Completely share your thoughts on the harshness of the fees. £90 for a certificate is excessive in anyone's book considering the amount of labour and effort involved ! It would be interesting to find out if the HCI's in other countries part...

He suggested that the fee of £90 (actually Rs 7000) for renunciation of Indian citizenship has been there for a lo...
