This is regarding my Mother’s French nationality issue.

My Mother was born in Pondicherry (French-India) on 1959. Her mother(my Grandmother) is holding French Nationality. She has two sisters and one brother. Except my Mother, all of her brother and sisters are holding French Nationality. Her mother didn't apply French nationality for my mother, because that time few people told that, a person who born on the year 1959 is not eligible for French Citizenship. Is that true?
Now she really intrested in getting French nationality

What are the possibility for her to get a French nationality for her now? Kindly guide us which and all the necessary documents needs be submitted for this.

THe odds are essentially zero. Most countries have tightened up and imposed many new restrictions on immigration due to large ammounts of abuse over the years, and generally since you haven't tried to get it over the last 53 years... its not something that is valid forever for a number of very good reasons..

Here are the requirements for becoming a french citizen. Would depend on your mother living in france for a total of five years. As for the l959 issue, france was restructuring its pension system in l959. Probably why newborns were disqualified from becoming french citizens, as that would have allowed them probably to collect french pensions.
