Immigration. Reclaiming Indian Nationality.

Vir Kashmiri (Querist) 02 November 2008 This query is : Resolved
How can an Indian born citizen whose parents migrated to Pakistan at the time of Partition when she was 3 years old reclaim her Indian nationality. She is a US citizen now, living in United States of America.
Can she also apply for her three kids. Two adults and one minor.

You are a PIO and Persons of Indian origin who are ordinarily resident in India for SEVEN YEARS can make application under section 5(1)(a)of the Citizenship Act (throughout the period of twelve months immediately before making application and for SIX YEARS in the aggregate in the EIGHT YEARS preceding the twelve months).
for your child, you have to make an application to the Central Govt.(Min of Home Affairs).
