India eVisa after US citizenship - is renunciation certificate needed

[aspiringCitizenCA]

hello,

To get India eVisa after US citizenship, is the renunciation certificate required?.

---

From CKGS website, instructions for eVisa application.

It is very important that you apply on the CKGS website www.in.ckgs.us and follow the due process.
You will be directed from the CKGS website at the appropriate step to the Renunciation of Indian Citizenship Process and Government of India website to fill your online visa form.

How long is the process for renunciation?. Does it require sending India passport to Embassy in person or by mail.

Appreciate it if someone who got India eVisa can share their experience.

Thank you.
