Overview
The government of India recently announced further relaxed
administrative rules for Overseas Citizens of India (OCI)
cardholders. Cardholders will no longer be required to have their
OCI cards re-issued each time they receive a new passport, with
exceptions for those after reaching 20 years of age and again after
50 years of age.
Key Points
OCI cardholders are no longer required to obtain new OCI cards
each time they receive a new passport.
Those with OCI cards that were issued prior to their 20th
birthday do not have to obtain a new OCI card when their passport
is renewed before reaching the age of 20.
OCI cardholders are required to obtain a new card once after
their passport is renewed for the first time after reaching the age
of 20.
