I got PR last year and can apply for British Citizenship this year in April. I own a house in Kerala and I also have other properties in India. I am told that if you take British citizenship I can’t hold any properties in India. Is it true? I am worried to apply for British Citizenship.

A foreign citizen cannot hold properties in India. But as it is possible to hold dual nationality, taking a British Citizenship will not affect your properties in India if you apply for Overseas Citizenship of India. OCI will give you a status as an NRI and you will be able to hold properties as NRI’s are allowed to purchase property in India. There is certain limitation for holding plantations but otherwise being an OCI you can hold ancestral and acquired properties in India.
