British passport for Baby born in India, while baby is in UK

Hi,

Myself and my wife got UK ILR in Nov 2013 and then my wife returned to India for baby delivery, who was born in Feb 2014 in India. They returned back to UK in June 2014. My son was given 5 years ILR visa in India.

Now, I have got the UK citizenship and have got british passport. My wife is going to apply for her citizenship very soon. I am not very clear in my son can apply for british citizenship and if yes, under which category.

Can someone please help? Have already booked a NCS appointment for 31 March.

If the baby was born in the UK he/she would been elligible for automatic registration entitlement under Section 1(3).
As the baby is born outside the UK, you are naturalised and wife is on ILR [eligible to become british (assuming no reason for the refusal)]

You can apply under Section 3(1) registration of minors at discretion (of home office).

All at face value only.
