- 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 .
You can give your foreign passport for those things
@@princeofheaven19wonderful solution.
OP please cancel your OCI card because this person just solved all your issues.
to get a sim card you can use your Aadhaar card
@@priyer74Aadhaar is for people with Indian citizenship.
@@megsie1424 but I heard that anyone living in India can apply and get aadhaar card.
American Canada actor?
Canada is a country.
Kannada is a language.
He is an America based Kannada actor.

I think this whole video was read by computer generated voice
OCI is a convenient arrangements for foreign citizens. I can operate my business in India as well as in Europe.
What about tax? esp. capital gain tax
@@M3ganwillslayif you earn over here then you have to pay taxes here ,same like Akshay kumar does ,he has Canadian citizenship and pays taxes here
What about outward remittance?
abe chaman i have OCI and its for indian citizens ghar wapsi😂😂
@@Kartik-ij2vy can describe in long term pls i wanna answer pls sir in brief
citizenship vs oci
1. no voting rights
2. no govt post /job
3. cannot buy agriculture land
after this no difference between citizenship and OCI
lol
Technically, the govt can revoke your OCI status and deport you to the country of your citizenship.
A few Khalistanis who kept harassing Indian diplomats overseas and promoting terrorism had their OCI cards revoked and their properties seized in India.
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).
i think OCI is good but they should remove they agriculture land clause from it...
Criticizing is welcome but some groups misuse it and leads to riots .
it should be revoked if someone makes hateful statements about india
@@AyushKumar-fo5yu
It happened to some Khalistanis who were promoting a revival of terrorist activities in India and harassing Indian diplomatic missions overseas.
Their OCI card 💳 was revoked and their properties 🏡 seized in India.
Some had fancy estates 🏡 and lost crores 💰. Now they are bitter 😡 claiming it was stolen from them unjustly.
Overseas Citizen of India. Not Citizenship. It's big difference.
I do not think restrictions of missionary activities and mountaineering on overseas Indian citizens makes any sense at all.
You can't buy farming land
Thank you you have explained beautifully
I am a 4th generation Malaysian Indian. My great grandparents hailed from South India.
Unfortunately we don't have any docs to prove they are of Indian origin.
How can I apply for OCI status?
You can apply for POI “person of Indian origin” card
OCI card replaces POI card now.
Proving my Indian origin Is my dilemma now.
@@drnsanan PIO is different from OCI and this person can apply for PIO not OCI
Can I inherit agricultural land from parents with OCI status?
Even without OCI you can do it
Upto 1 million dollars per F.year
Yes
@@Prince077Aussie but wat abt if he has siblings then it will be shared so i think in their will they have to mention his name
In so far we are not a US citizen, it does not apply to us.
At best we acquaint with the need for having this visa
Does other developed country provide same things?it sounds very disadvantageous to local citizen
Dont worry too much. They are so many illegals living with genuine Aadhar cards. Indian citizenship is not that valuable compared to overseas.
most developed countries allow dual citizenship
What is this? What is poi? How you get this? Where to apply?what do I do with old Indian passport ?
what about inheriting agriculatural land, or Agriculatural land purchased when being an indian citizen ? would love some clarity on this please.
Yes. You can inherit.
@@vncstudio he is saying when he purchses he was citizen and now an OCI holder, govt should remove restriction buying agriculture land
U can’t go further using this citizenship
Indians need visa for most of countries
i have OCI card. never travelled to India with it....What are the steps i need to take while going to India with OCI card.
literally just carry the document with you when entering through immigration. Otherwise nothing else needs to be done
@@purplemarsmotionpictures oh ok wow. That's it. Ok great. Planning to travel in Dec'23. Thank you
@@priyer74 you need to carry your main passport along with OCI. Immigration officer in India will ask general question about stay but nothing apart from that if you have OCI.
@@palpilgrim8432 thank you
@@yashdoshi5979 thank you
I just like to know wether OCI holders can have AADHAR card, government issued health card & health facilities?
Aadhar card - yes.
But you have to have been in the country for 182 days in a 12 month period before you can apply for an Aadhar card as an OCI holder.
You will not however be able to get certain benefits and services tied to the Aadhar card which are reserved for Indian citizens.
Good
Hoping for dual citizenship one day
Most company executives,yes including Managers VPs will sometimes not understand names of certain countries. But will keep parroting Abroad Abroad!
If you are not stressed for time, it is fun to be in such situations!
OCI card holders should be allowed to buy agricultural land, after all they are the one who returned to india to stay forever
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.
whats deal with mountaineering
because mountains located near the border and at height to see all army critical positions
Security issue(spying) I believe.
So OCI is for overseas Indian citizens which means for overseas who stay abroad can apply OCI which probably proves that from india so with this OCI if I travel to India no need visa anytime how longer but with this OCI I travel to Bhutan and Nepal do I need visa especially Bhutan visa is perday quite expensive so this OCI is prove that who hold this OCI is overseas Indian do I need to pay at Bhutan 250 us per day or R's 1500 per day like to know please let me know Thank you do much planing to go Bhutan beautiful country ❤ Thank you
Just to get blody mobile sim card i have to beg people to favor me.because the intelligence of the ministry say have to put foreign address, not the indian address on oci card.Disgutting. Now a days, keeping foreign tourist in mind atleast, u can buy on passport. So those,,,,,,,,, charge u more on the airport, as usual, things are more expensive at the airport. 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. Wanted to take my mother to holy places, and she expired before my next trip.. India's Beuocracy is excellent.
My deepest condolences with regards to your mother's passing.
I agree, the system's can be very challenging when dealing with uneducated and untrained public servants.
Nobody asked you 5o come to india .get lost
If you need mobile SIM card you can buy at airport. They keep photocopy of yr Passport and OCI card and issue a SIM card. It can be top it on when u need more datas.There are Kiosk of all phone service providers.

How to get OCI card if I am staying in USA.
Apply at an Indian embassy by surrendering your old Indian passport. There might be additional steps if you were born in the USA.

oci website has the information
You can apply for OCI.
@@sarvsrini Thank you
@@ArvindP-lf8wn Thanks boss
You can get Person of Indian Origin card (PIO). Do apply
This should be abolished as soon as possible. This OCI is a slap to poor Indian
Can be revoked for any petty offence.....like stealing the ice cream from a baby ????
His crimes was certainly not petty
So you want keep person who isn’t citizens of our country and steal ice cream from a child who is a citizen of our country and are well within his right to eat an ice cream and government shouldn’t action in that case so Sad you’re not enough patriotic 😮
That's so cruel. Totally deserve OCI revocation for making a baby cry.
@@BadassBikerOwns I am flooded with guilt !!...time to steal another ice cream...
@@OptimumConsulting hey We will complain about you to Modi and Yogi ji 😜😅
My mother born in india in the year 1939. Cant get oci, becsuse in those days no birth certificates. Has a school record and cert. Not accepted. Jokers at the london embadsy are rude a...sholes.
WHAT IS THE STATUS OF " GHANDY PARIVAR "
SONIA, RAHUL, & PRIYANKA GHANDY???????
HOW CAN SONIA HOLD SUCH AN IMPORTANT POSITION IN INDIAN POLITICS??????????????.
ISN'T THAT A VIOLATION OF LAW???????????
If a guy who after marrying threw away his wife, can rule ,anyone can...pathetic....

But what about Sonia and Rahul gandhi ? They have British passport
I don't think they have British passport.
Rahul is born in India and has an Indian passport.
Allow duel citizenship
Oh absolutely dual citizenship is needed
Provision needs to be made in constitution
Why?
@@sunny2355 How?
@@vikeng21 OIC gets all benifits except voting and buying agricultural land
Now my question is you settled in abroad will you buy an agricultural land in India?
No because it's not needed but you want to give vote in India!
Unfortunately our laws are outdated and our politician always wants to decrease candidate who can vote!
Ok, but now you should lose your non-indian passport. You can’t be loyal to two countries. I’ll be putting forward an information request to Australian parliamentary oversight to determine if there are indian origin members of parliament, as entitlement to overseas citizenship is forbidden to members of parliament.
Thank you for alerting me to this scam.
😂😂dik head australian govt. is already aware of this since 2009 chutye
American "Canada" language actor? Really??
Show a little respect!
Kannada actor
No respect for a criminal
Vese woh banda jiska oic cancel huaa usne kiya kiaa
First correct you own terms lol.
It should be "OVERSEAS CITIZEN OF INDIAN ORIGIN"
NOT overseas citizen of india
You cant be the citizen of an Origin 🤷♂
Thats like saying I am a citizen of parsi origin
@@user-vf2be7dz3v i mean your point is also true.
But overseas citizen of india. Seems like just something is missing in the statement kind a like...
While my statement makes a little more sense. A citizen of other place ( oversea) of an indian descent .......
@@markpatrick2140 Sometimes Indian Origin People marry other nationality so they can also get that . Some people also got that because of the business😊
The term 'Overseas Citizen of India' is totally appropriate. It is different from full citizenship of India, where you have Indian passport, voting rights and rights to buy agricultural land.
dik head its ghar wapsi of us OCI holders so we were once carrying indian passport😂😂
