Rununciation and applying for PIO

[sufloyd]

I recently got my US passport and am considering applying for PIO card as I will likely be traveling to India in December.

I'm not sure how the PIO application aligns with renunciation - can I do both at the same time or do they have to be done separately? I thought the Indian passport is canceled when you apply for PIO, so why do I need to apply for renunciation...?

Thanks.

You can do it at the same time. Reason they make you do it is $$$$
