Applying for british passport 3 months after naturalisation

[nchodem]

Hi;
I have got my naturalisation certificate in sep 2012. And I have traveled to india on indian passport immediately a week after citizenship ceremony.

Now I have decided to stay back in india for good. And found a job in india. Just wondering if there is problem if I apply for British passport from india now.

I have read lot of posts in this forum. And the popular opinion is that there is a grace period of 3 months within which I can use my indian passport for travel. After the three months my stay in india deemed as illegal.

So my humble request to the immigrations experts in this forum:
1. Is it legal to apply for British Passport from India after 3 months of naturalisation.

2. If experts in this forum are not sure which is the best place to get the advice.

3. Can I travel to UK now, and apply for british passport, get OCI and then return back to india.


Appreciate your replies and time.

applying for passport is only a choice in our life and there might be few british citizens who never apply for passport.

So it is absolutely legal apply for passport after 3 months of naturualization.

However i think you can only surrender your indian passport only in UK and cannnot do it in india.

However OCI/PIO can be applied in india.
