The Indian nationality law dictates that the person born between the time period of 26 January 1950 to 1 July 1987 in India are automatically the citizens of the country by birth, regardless of the nationalities of the birth parents.The two main pieces of legislation governing these requirements are the citizenship act of 1955 and the constitution of India.Citizenship was granted to the child if the child is born in between the time period of 1 July 1987 to 3 December 2004, even if one of the parents is Indian.The individuals born in this country with both the parents being Indian, then they become the citizen by default.The individual shall receive citizenship only if both the parents are Indian citizens or if one of the parents is an Indian citizen, even if the other one is a non-Indian or a migrant.The foreign individuals become the citizens of India by naturalisation after staying here for at least 12 years and by renouncing their previous nationalities.
