  1. Correct Answer – Option 3 : voluntarily acquired citizenship of another country

    The correct answer is voluntarily acquired citizenship of another country.

    • No person shall be a citizen of India if he has voluntarily acquired citizenship of another country.

    • The Citizenship Act, 1955, provides for the acquisition of Indian citizenship in the following ways:
      • Generally, every person born in India on or after January 1950 shall be a citizen of India or either of his parents was a citizen of India at the time of his birth.
      • A person who was outside India on or after 26 January; 1950, shall be a citizen of India by descent if his father was a citizen of India at the time of that person’s birth.
      • A person residing in India for more than seven years can seek citizenship by naturalisation.
      • If any new territory becomes a part of India, the persons of the territory become citizens of Indian.
    • Citizenship of India may be lost by:

      • Termination of citizenship, if a citizen of India voluntarily acquires the citizenship of another country.
      • Deprivation of citizenship by the Government of India.
