This may sound a silly question but still asking.

When you surrender Indian passport at VFS; along with SC-Surrender Certificate, do you also receive the cancelled passport back (with cancelled stamp)?

This can be useful to prove (in future if needed) that you held Indian passport in the past.

Thanks all for your response.

So if I belong to a country where dual nationality is not allowed.
I guess I can surrender passport of my country of origin AFTER I receive my first british passport following naturalisation/registration certificate.

DO NOT go to glasgow if you are Director of a LTD CO.
From personal experience they will simply not accept your application.

As it says in Approval letter, you need to wait for 10 days from date of ILR approval for BRP to come through.
If it doesn't come by then, you need to contact UKBA by email or by post.

I guess you will receive BRP within 10 days, so just wait for few more days.
