I’m a Nepali woman who got married to an Indian citizen in 2010. I’ve been living in Gujarat with my husband since then and have an Aadhaar card. Can I apply for an Indian passport directly or do I need to get Indian citizenship first?

As per Indian law, you can’t apply for an Indian passport directly. You need to first obtain Indian citizenship. Your marriage to an Indian citizen and long residency in India will strengthen your application for citizenship.
