The whole OCI itself is worded ambiguously. In whatever manner you read it shows that we are citizens of India but infact we are not and we are not even close to being a Citizen. No voting, no ration card, no resident bank accounts, NRI fees for children etc.,anonimouse wrote: IMHO, this clause is worded ambiguously and revolves around the OCI registered individual entitled/granted certain benefits based on correct information printed on the inside of front and back cover of the booklet - which supersedes anything else.
IS it not a 5year long stay ? I have to spend 5 years from the date of registration in the OCI and in the 5years last 1yr must be in INDIA. By that time I think for my age it would not matter if I am on OCI or not.ban.s wrote:if you want you can regain Indian citizenship after an year long stay in india with OCI - albeit losing British Citizenship.
Please see 5(1)(g). It is 5yrs for OCI to get back INDIAN citizenship. it is 5yrs of which last 1yr the person must be resident in INDIA.ban.s wrote:5(1)(f) of indian citizenship act
Oh wow ! that is very good then. That means if I want (sigh) then I can get back my Indian citizenship in 1 year !ban.s wrote:not all OCI holders were indian citizen's before or child of Indian citizens (such as OCI's through parent/grant parents routes, and as per new rules spouses)
hence 5(1)(g) is for people that don't qualify for 5(1)(f)
