Hi,

I have got citizenship approval letter last week(Feb) and I have got ceremony date in the month of April.

My Question is, Can I travel to India with my old passport(India passport) before my ceremony(in the month of March) ?

Please let me know. Thank you in adv.

Yes.

Your Indian citizenship and UK ILR remain valid till the citizenship ceremony. Only after the citizenship ceremony do you become a British citizen and your countdown to surrender your Indian passport begins.
