India launches digital e-OCI card for overseas citizens
The government introduced an electronic version of the Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card, allowing holders to download it online and continuing to serve as a lifelong visa.
India launched the e‑OCI card, a digital version of the OCI card that replaces the paper booklet system, according to Hindustan Times.
The OCI card is a lifelong visa that permits Overseas Citizens of India to enter and stay in India, and it exempts OCI holders from reporting to police authorities, reported by The Hindu.
Cardholders can download the e‑OCI card via the OCI Services Portal, Hindustan Times reported.
There are more than 4.7 million Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) cardholders worldwide, IndiaPolicyHub.in reported.
