Sir if your mother is Indian citizen and you are born in India then in that case you shall be a Indian citizen.As according to citizenship act any person born in India and either parent is coticen of Indian then the person is citizen of India.
Can I file a petition to the High Court to prove my citizenship if my citizenship was at a threat because of Inclusion of my name in the National Registrar of Citizenship in Assam(NRC).
For any complaint/ query with regards to the NRC first complaint has to be made online at http://nrcassamcomplaints.in/complaints/add, if the same is not resolved properly then you may approach the HC, otherwise the HC will dismiss the writ on the ground of alternative remedy.

2) the applicant’s name is not on any of these lists, he can produce any of the 12 other documents dated up to March 24, 1971, like land or tenancy record, citizenship certificate or permanent residential certificate or passport or court records or refugee registration certificate
3) the applicant’s ancestor’s name is on any of these lists, the applicant will have to prove his relationship to his ancestor by producing his board or university certificate, ration card or any other legally acceptable document
The issue of citizenship in India has been rendered very complex by a thicket of laws, rules and executive fiats. Article 6 of the Constitution says anybody from East or West Pakistan who enters India after July 19, 1948 must apply for citizenship. Citizenship is also governed by the Foreigners Act of 1946, the Passport Act of 1952, and the Citizenship Act of 1956. Besides naturalisation, until January 1, 1987, every person born in India was automatically conferred citizenship. Then the rules changed and until December 3, 2004, at least one parent had to be a citizen for a baby to be Indian. After that date, if one parent was an illegal immigrant the child would not be eligible for citizenship.
Hi,
There are specific requirements of inclusion of name in NRC and if you satisfy that you name would be surely included in that.
Any person born in India on or after 26 January 1950, but prior to the commencement of the 1986 Act on 1 July 1987, is a citizen of India by birth. A person born in India on or after 1 July 1987 is a citizen of India if either parent was a citizen of India at the time of the birth.
Can I file a petition to the High Court to prove my citizenship if my citizenship was at a threat because of Inclusion of my name in the National Registrar of Citizenship in Assam(NRC).
Which is the place of your birth?
Indian nationality law largely follows the jus sanguinis (citizenship by right of blood) as opposed to the jus soli (citizenship by right of birth within the territory).
