Travel to India after getting British Passport (unclear)

[t1seeker]

Hi all

I do apologise in advance if this has been answered earlier elsewhere.

Myself, wife and daughter got British citizenship on 18th Sep (date of ceremony / oath). We applied for UK passport immediately after and now my daughter has got her UK passport but me and wife havent as we need to attend the interview and earliest date available is 24th.

If possible we would really need to travel to India in next few days. HCIL does talk about 90 day grace period, but couple of friends were of the opinion that may be one can use Indian passport after naturalisation within 90 days, but NOT after you have obtained a British passport, at which point you need to surrender Indian passport ASAP.

Is this true, ie is my daughter allowed to travel on her Indian passport or not as she got her British passport now?

Also I read somewhere that as soon as you get naturalised, your current leave to remain in the UK (ILR in my case) gets supplanted and gets replaced by a right to abode as a British citizen. So if we do go to India, will be able to use or Indian passport / ILR to enter the UK again (I guess UKBA will have in the records that now we are British citizens) so we should not be using Indian passport with a supplanted ILR to gain entry.

Has anyone used Indian pp to travel to India after getting British pp / citizenship and entered UK again on that Indian passport without any issues with either UKBA or HCIL on surrender / OCI.

I really appreciate your help.

Many thanks
