Yes, it is fair. It is little high but I guess Canada also charge fees (may be $100) for renouncing Canadian Citizenship.
ok ! on top of it you have to pay $20 for shipping , so it is $168 + 20 =$188
is not double, right?

Canada allows dual citizenship whereas India does not. Regardless you pay the fee or not, you automatically lose your Indian citizenship the moment you take on Canadian citizenship. So fee for that is irrelevant, it just seems like new source of revenue.

It has nothing to do with dual citizenship. Yes, Canada allows dual citizenship while India does not but there can be many reasons people may want to renounce Canadian Citizenship. Surrender certificate is a kind of renouncing Indian citizenship.
We all know many of our people misuse Indian citizenship/passport by not telling Indian authorities that they are foreign country citizen. I have no idea how this surrender certificate will help.
But I will still say $168 or $188 is fair. I read few months back that US started charging something like $400 for renouncing US citizenship.

Renunciation can be applicable only in case of dual citizenship because you give up one citizenship while still being citizen of another country. India does not allow dual citizenship, so renunciation in Indian context is irrelevant since how can you give up Indian citizenship, the only citizenship you have? Even if you do not get the Surrender Certificate, you are not an Indian citizen since Indian citizenship gets terminated automatically after getting Canadian citizenship, so they cannot charge a fee for "renunciation" of Indian citizenship. That is why they are charging it for Surrender Certificate.
