Question

According to the clarification issued by the Ministry of External Affairs in June 2026, an Indian passport is not conclusive proof of which of the following?

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option C: Indian citizenship. An Indian passport is issued under the Passports Act, 1967, primarily as a travel document for international travel. An Indian passport is not conclusive proof of Indian citizenship under Indian law. Section 20 of the Passports Act, 1967, permits the issuance of passports or travel documents to certain non-citizens in the public interest. The Citizenship Act, 1955, is the principal legislation governing the acquisition and determination of Indian citizenship. Indian courts determine citizenship on the basis of legal evidence such as birth records, citizenship certificates, parental records, and school certificates. The Supreme Court has clarified that Aadhaar is proof of identity and not proof of Indian citizenship. The National Register of Citizens (NRC) is associated with the verification of citizenship status in India. Every Indian passport remains the property of the Government of India and must be surrendered when lawfully required.
