Citizenship can be lost

 In India, citizenship can be lost in the following ways:


1. Renunciation: An Indian citizen of full age and capacity can renounce his/her citizenship by making a declaration in the prescribed manner.


2. Termination: The citizenship of a person can be terminated by the Government of India if the person voluntarily acquires the citizenship of another country.


3. Deprivation: The citizenship of a person can be deprived by the Government of India if it is satisfied that the person has acquired citizenship by fraudulent means, or has shown himself/herself to be disloyal to the Constitution of India.


It is important to note that the deprivation of citizenship can only be done in accordance with the procedure laid down in the Citizenship Act, 1955, and is subject to judicial review.


Loss of citizenship can have serious consequences, as it can result in the loss of the rights and privileges that come with citizenship, such as the right to vote, work, or own property in India. Therefore, it is important for individuals to be aware of the laws governing citizenship and to take appropriate steps to ensure that their citizenship status is not jeopardized.
