What’s OCI (Overseas Citizenship of India) Cardholder?
The Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) is an immigration status in which a foreign citizen of Indian origin can get authorization to live and work in India indefinitely. In response to the demands for binary citizenship by the Indian diaspora, the OCI was introduced. In August 2005, it was introduced by The Citizenship ( Correction) Act, 2005. According to the Constitution of India, an Indian citizen ca n’t hold binary citizenship. OCI is also not the factual citizenship of India and it comes up with numerous limitations like no right to bounce or hold indigenous services, buy agrarian parcels, etc. In order to apply for an OCI document, a holder must be a citizen of another country and have the passport of his country except for Bangladesh or Pakistan.
