Explanation:

The Citizenship Act, 1955, prescribes three ways of losing citizenship whether acquired under the Act or prior to it under the Constitution, viz. renunciation, termination and deprivation: 1. By Renunciation: Any citizen of India of full age and capacity can make a declaration renouncing his Indian citizenship. 2. By Termination: When an Indian citizen voluntarily (consciously, knowingly and without duress, undue influence or compulsion) acquires the citizenship of another country. 3. By Deprivation: It is a compulsory termination of Indian citizenship by the Central government, if: ? the citizen has obtained the citizenship by fraud: ? the citizen has shown disloyalty to the Constitution of India: ? the citizen has unlawfully traded or communicated with the enemy during a war; ? the citizen has, within five years after registration or naturalisation, been imprisoned in any country for two years; and ? the citizen has been ordinarily resident out of India for seven years continuously
