We have acquired citizenship over 3 years and the penalty was waived after we showed oath documents. (Don't ask me how it is different from citizenship certificate card)
Therefore, carry oath document along as it may be useful.
The citizenship paper (not the wallet card) has the exact date when you acquired citizenship while the citizenship card does not. Hence the Indian missions accept only that paper as "proof of citizenship" while the card is actually the legal proof of citizenship.

In your case passport expired ? if pass port expired after Jan 1st then the penalty applied.

If I have lost citizenship paper, can I get it again else I will not know when I became CDN citizen.

2 weeks.

My friend got this done last month before his wife was leaving for India, and he submitted the application in the morning, got the cert in the afternoon same day. Costed him $20.
According to him, the requirement to get the cert is only if your passport has a simple stamp of 'cancelled" - however, if it has something to the effect 'cancelled since holder aquired Canadian citizenship' or something like that, then there is no need for surrender cert. In my case, my wife and children have the long stamp while I have the short 'Cancelled' stamp - so I guess, I will have to get a cert.

They gave me the LONG STAMP, but are still mailing the surrender certificate via Xpress post...the whole process is messed up...changes every morning depending on the tea they had.

What a mess. Some IAS officer sitting in India must have come up with this brilliant idea and now people are running around like headless chickens.
People have gone systematically through the process and done what was asked for at that time. Now they have to figure out what is right for their situation, which no one cannot and pay more fees again.
Another example of our great Indian Bureaucracy.
