Do I have to surrender Indian passport before applying for e-visa to India ?

In e-visa application there is a question whether I have another valid passport. I do have india passport and canadian passport. Should I mention that I have a valid indian passport as well?

As soon as you take Canadian citizenship, Indian passport is no longer valid. Eventhough you can travel on it, it's under the disguise that you don't hold any other country passport.

It may complicate your e-visa processing.

Hey

I hope you father is better now.

Just in case you have a chance to read this, i kindly want to know if you were asked for a surrender certificate at Point of Entry in India or not. Or any other documentsl.

My surrender date is 19 sept. And i am hopping to travel by end of this month.

Any input will be helpful.

Thank You
Hello,

I am in a similar situation as yours. Did they ask for your surrender certificate at landing ?

I have an approved e-visa and Canadian passport. My application to surrender my passport is in process. I don't think so I will get the surrender certificate before I travel. Just wanted to confirm if immigration officer asked for surrender certificate with the e-visa upon landing in India?

Thank you!
