Majority of the persons, who left India, became citizens of the United States.

The Union Home Ministry on Tuesday told the Lok Sabha that 1,63,370 persons gave up their Indian citizenship in 2021.

The figure is higher as compared to 2020 when 85,256 persons had renounced their Indian citizenship, according to the ministry’s data. In 2019, the figure stood at 1,44,017.

The data was provided by Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai in response to a question raised by Haji Fazlur Rehman, a Bahujan Samaj Party MP.

Rehman had sought details about the number of persons who have renounced Indian citizenship between 2019 and 2021, the reasons cited for the decision and the countries they have gone to.

“Individuals renounced Indian citizenship for reasons personal to them,” Rai said in response.

The United States was preferred by persons, who renounced their Indian citizenship. In 2021 alone, 78,284 persons acquired the US citizenship. The number has increased from 30,828 in 2020 and 61,683 in 2019.
