Can I surrender passport while visiting India

[buddyboy]

Hi. Does anyone have any experience with renouncing Indian citizenship while visiting India. I am just trying to avoid the $250 penalty charged by the missions here in the US. If so, where (in Chennai) can I go and surrender the passport and cert a surrender cert? And what are the fees associated with this? Thanks.

You need to surrender Indian passport at Indian Consulate/Embassy.
