Dear Friends,
Recently I got a legal opinion regarding citizenship.I need your opinion regarding this matter.
My Client is from Taiwan Country. Now his wife pregnant. His wife wants to deliver her child in India so that he can get citizenship of India. Is this Possible??
I think at present position this is not possible in India. do you think so??
Is their any other way to become a citizen of India of a new born child of a FOREIGNER COUPLE??
Please give your opinion.

Recent amendment says that those born in India are considered as Indian only if both of their parents are citizens of India or If one parent is a citizen of India and not considered as illegal migrant at the time of their birth.Except the above there is no other legal way.
