  • Overseas Citizenship of India or OCI has again come into the limelight after the Centre cancelled the OCI status of American-Kannada language actor Chetan Kumar last week. But what is this OCI status?

    I couldn't get a SIM card as the provider is not educated enough to know what is an OCI and kept insisting on my Voter ID.When I tried to buy a plot of land the same happened as the Sub registrar doesn't know what is an OCI!
    The Centre says one thing but the reality is something else.
    Only in Metro cities the authorities understand what is an OCI.
    The Government should educate officers at State level about OCI status.
    Even banks dont give interest due to Senior citizens .

    I am an overseas Indian citizen. I do NOT think people like me should have our overseas Indian citizenship revoked for simply criticizing the government, its policies or the country itself. Overseas Indian citizens should only have their overseas citizenship revoked if they are found guilty in a court of law of a SERIOUS crime.

      OCI is not an entitlement as for a citizen and as such there are restrictions for OCIs anywhere in the world. In the case of Chetan he is being deported because he was making comments to hurt peoples sentiments and cause divisions amongst communities. As far as I know he is still in India and not deported (for what ever reason).

Height of intelligence, i had wasted my whole trip to show them old passport with the stamp, because that light blue booklet (chithra )has no value.

    OCI is often misused by people. Many care a damn about the welfare of India or its people (in fact some leave India because of their dislike for the country), but have vested interests in owning or acquiring property/land or in securing monetary benefits. There should be a thorough scrutiny of all OCI applications and OCI applicants should be interviewed & investigated into.

      "Some leave India because they dislike the country" Is it wrong to dislike your country? there are OCIs who come to meet their family study or start businesses. why can OCI's secure monetary benefits and why should they not have property? and not all OCI's leave bc they hate their country.

      Most people leave India because of lack of opportunities. In some states educated young people hardly had any industries where they could work or for that matter any Job opportunities. Take territories like Daman, Goa or Pondicherry. What were the Job opportunities. People had to either go to the middle East on ships or the West looking for work. It is simply because the Government failed them. Much development has taken place because of the huge amount of remittances sent to India. When India was almost bankrupt in 1998 it was the dispora that was asked to subscribe to Indian Bonds.Though tax free in India they were not tax free in the country of their residence and most had to pay higher taxes just because they invested in India.
