Dear Neha, you will choose your Nationality as Indian. Cos you have been abroad for studies, your Nationality will still remain Indian. PIO is someone like:
- Any person who has ever held an Indian passport, or
- The person's parents, grandparents or great grandparents were born in and were permanent residents of India and never moved to (i.e., were never nationals of) Bangladesh and Pakistan, or
- The person is the spouse of a citizen of India or of a PIO and has been so for two years or more, and
- The person and his/her parents, grandparents or great grandparents must not have been a national of Bangladesh or Pakistan at any point of time
