Take all the documentation you have, GC, Current passport, tax receipts etc etc.. in addition to whats specified in the interview letter

You do not surrender your Indian pasport to US authorities, it becomes invalid automatically when you get sworn in as a US citizen,

That would be good to take it, you know it wont be too much of extra baggage if you carry some of these documents, You DO NOT want the decision to be delayed or denied because you did not bring some documentation :-)
Good Luck..

Thanks a lot for the info.
What is the time frame between the interview and Citizenship oath? I guess my Indian passport will not become void the day i am done with my interview right? Please correct me if my assumption is incorrect.

Your Indian passport will be voided the moment you take the Oath on the Oath Ceremony day. Until then you will be an Indian citizen and your Indian passport is valid, of course if it hasn't expired :-)

For me, my interview was on sep 18th and oath was on nov 13th in san jose
my friend in sfo had an interview oct 21st and oath on nov 5th, so it depends on the location.
