Once an employee changes citizenship the chances are they cannot continue to work in the same capacity. It may be a requirement of your work contract that a change of citizenship notification be given to them immediately and sometimes even when you make an application for foreign citizenship. Any agricultural land you legally inherit will continue to be yours regardless of your citizenship. In case you are not aware, even OCI holders cannot work for the government of India.
