Dear seniors please advise
my application is with home office for naturalization,so can i travel with my ILR along with my birth country passport?also advise if i m outside on holiday and my naturalization approval came than whats the time in between i need to take oath.
Also if it came before i go and i took oath and don't get British passport(as don't have time) can i still travel on my ILR with other passport not British.

Yes to both questions about traveling.
After approval and ceremony, you can travel with passport, ILR BRP and naturalisation certificate without any problems.
Once you receive your approval letter, you have two weeks to book your ceremony. Some people receive approval and ceremony invite in one letter and some people receive two separate letters a couple of weeks apart.
If you are going to be away, you should make sure you have someone checking your mail.

You have approximately 2 weeks to book the ceremony with the your council and up to 3 months to attend the oath ceremony.

YES, travel with foreign passport, BRP and naturalisation certificate and then apply for British passport when you are back in the UK
If someone is checking your mail, they could let you know once the letter arrives and you can book the ceremony from abroad for a date that is suitable. Some councils have online facilities to book or enquire.
