Just remember that both British offices of arms extend "the imperial mandate" to all corners of the globe formerly part of the Empire, whilst the Irish office of arms embraces those of provable Irish descent world wide.

I mention this because, it would seem, that someone born in British India, or whose father or grandfather was born in British India (or elsewhere in the Empire), should qualify for a substantive grant of arms from either the College or the Lord Lyon.

Hmmm. Another set of doors open wide?
