Published Date: Saturday, Aug 25, 2012
In a reply to the Lok Sabha Minister of Overseas Indian Affair, Shri Vayalar Ravi mentioned the number of Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) Card issued in last three years. The Ministry acknowledged that there is a delay in issue of the card due to non-submission of photographs in the prescribed format by the applicants causing scanning problems. The problem is resolved as and when it comes to the notice of the Government. The OCI Server in a few Missions had faced some technical problems for some time in the recent past. The problems have since been rectified. The average time taken to issue an OCI Card is 30 days.
