Dear Client,

To reclaim Indian citizenship after acquiring Dutch citizenship, you can apply under Section 5(1)(g) of the Citizenship Act, 1955. As per this provision, you must have been registered as an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) for five years and have resided in India for at least one year within that period. Since you have been living in India for more than a year, you are eligible to apply.

For your children, they can also reclaim Indian citizenship under the same provisions. However, if they are minors, they can apply through you as their parent or guardian. There is no requirement for them to wait until they turn 18, they can reclaim citizenship as dependents.
