Indian-Americans welcome revised OCI card rules
The Hindu
According to the latest Home Ministry guidelines, the Overseas Citizens of India will not be required to register for a fresh OCI card every time a new passport is issued in their name,
Indian-Americans have welcomed the (OCI) cards, saying more overseas citizens will now opt for this form of residency. OCI cardholders will now be required to get their document re-issued only once at the age of 20 instead of multiple times needed to be done currently, according to the Indian Union Home Ministry. "This will remove the confusion to many OCI cardholders on the process of renewing the card at the age of 20 and 50 and one doesn't have to go through the whole OCI card renewal process again," Dr Thomas Abraham chairman of the Global organisation of People of Indian Origin (GOPIO) told PTI on Thursday.More Related News
