Can any of you explain? What will happen now ? Would it go through several more committees before getting the final nod and do we have to wait another 10 / 15 years before something really happens?

December 23, 2003
The Indian Parliament on December 22, 2003 has passed a Bill to grant dual citizenship to the people of Indian origin. Among other things, the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill - 2003, which amends the Citizenship Act -1955, would simplify the procedure to facilitate the reacquisition of Indian citizenship by persons of full age who are children of Indian citizens and former Indian citizens.
The Bill provides for grant of overseas citizenship of India to persons of Indian origin belonging to 16 specified countries and Indian citizens who choose to acquire citizenship of any of these countries at a later date.
The rules, regulations and requirements are still under process and our web site {SFO consulate} will be updated on this as and when instructions are received from Government of India.
