The grant of Indian citizenship is a multi-level and multi-agency
activity. As per rule 11 and 12 of the Citizenship Rules, 2009, an
application for grant of Indian citizenship is to be submitted by the
applicant to the Collector/DM/DC within whose jurisdiction the applicant
is ordinarily a resident. The Collector/DM/DC after satisfying himself
regarding eligibility of the applicant to become a citizen of India,
forwards the application to the State Government/UT administration
concerned. The State Government/UT administration in turn forwards the
application, along with its recommendation, to the Ministry of Home
Affairs. Thereafter, the application is processed further as per the
provisions of the Citizenship Act, 1955 and the rules made there under.
Since initial application is submitted to the Collector/DM concerned and
a number of agencies are involved in the processing of applications for
grant of citizenship, no case/religion based centralized data of such
applications is maintained. All cases received in the Ministry of Home
Affairs are processed as expeditiously as possible. 1290 applications of
Pakistani nationals were received from various State Governments/UTs
for grant of Indian citizenship by registration and naturalization
during last three years i.e. 2009-2011. Indian citizenship was granted
to 764 Pakistan nationals during this period.
The MEA and State Governments concerned are consulted from time to time
