Any person born in India before July 1, 1987 is considered a citizen of India. However, since you were born in 1989, according to the rules, at least one of your parents must have been an Indian citizen at the time of your birth. Current rules that apply for Indian citizenship by birth: • A person born in India on or after 26th January 1950 but before 1st July, 1987 is citizen of India by birth irrespective of the nationality of his parents. • A person born in India on or after 1st July,1987 but before 3rd December, 2004 is considered citizen of India by birth if either of his parents is a citizen of India at the time of his birth. • A person born in India on or after 3rd December, 2004 is considered citizen of India by birth if both the parents are citizens of India or one of the parents is a citizen of India and the other is not an illegal migrant at the time of his birth.
