My son is born in India and I currently have a British passport can I directly apply for a British passport for my son or I need to bring him from India on a visa and apply for a British passport.
Thanks,

Was he born before you became British (attended your ceremony) or was he born after you became British???

Your son is not British so cannot apply for a British passport.
You becoming British doesn't make children before this date British.
What is the UK immigration status of the other parent??

Hi,
can't I apply for MN1 for my child and apply for a british citizenship for my child from India, or I need to apply for Indian passport and apply for a settlement visa only ?

No. A child Bron abroad has no entitlement to register as British. You will need to apply for a Indian passport and a UK visa.
Child would only have been entitled to register as British if born in the UK once either parent got ilr.
