India Reports Citizenship Renunciations and Repatriation Data

A lot of people from India have been giving up their Indian citizenship in the last few years.

The government says almost nine lakh people have done this since 2020.

In 2024 alone, 2,06,378 people gave up their citizenship.

The government also received many complaints from Indians living abroad, mostly from countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

They also talked about people having more than one passport, which is not allowed.

The government has systems to help people with problems abroad, but sometimes it takes time to solve these issues.

Additionally, the government has brought back the mortal remains of 54,511 Indians from abroad between 2016 and 2025.

The process can take different amounts of time depending on the circumstances.
