[pulimiharish]

My son's (age: 13) passport expired after 5 years so we got a new British passport. And we just applied for OCI update and got the below mail. Can we travel to India with this mail or would there be any problems?
Thanks

Hello, did you travel to India?

They will cancel your old OCI when they issue the new one. Unless the old one has expired naturally, it is still valid for travel.

How long does it take to update the passport number? How long did they take once you had a Date of Acknowledgment? Do you only get an email once the process had been completed. Can you please advise

Wrong advise by BashirB. OCI will be reissued only once after reaching 20 years
