Reading: I’m from Delhi, pursuing my MBBS here. My family has always lived in India, but my grandfather was from Nepal. This has made it difficult for my father to obtain Indian citizenship. He works in a bookshop in Delhi, and we’re struggling without any official documents. We can’t afford to buy land or a home. Could you please advise me on how I can help my family get Indian citizenship?

As per the Indian Citizenship Act, 1955, your father can apply for Indian citizenship by registration, provided he has been residing in India for 12 years. You can assist by gathering required documents like proof of residence, employment, and your grandfather’s Nepali citizenship papers. It’s advisable to consult a lawyer for legal assistance and guidance in the application process.
