Q6 (CISF/2017) Polity & Governance › Preamble, Union & Territory, Citizenship

Which one of the following is not one of the modes of acquisition of citizenship under the Citizenship Act, 1955 ?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: D

Explanation

The Citizenship Act, 1955 prescribes five specific modes for the acquisition of Indian citizenship: Birth, Descent, Registration, Naturalisation, and Incorporation of Territory. These provisions are detailed in Sections 3 to 7 of the Act.

Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI), often colloquially referred to as a form of "dual citizenship," was introduced through the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2005. However, it is a limited status provided to the Indian diaspora and does not constitute a mode of acquiring full Indian citizenship. Most importantly, the Constitution of India (Article 9) and the 1955 Act do not recognize dual citizenship; an Indian citizen automatically loses their Indian citizenship if they voluntarily acquire the citizenship of another country. Therefore, option D is not a mode of acquisition.
