Article 11 of the Constitution confers power on the parliament to make laws regarding citizenship. Citizen means a person who under the citizenship or nationality law for the time being in force in that country, is a citizen or national of that country. Indian citizenship can be acquired: birth, descent, registration, and naturalization. The provisions are listed under the Citizenship Act, 1955.
