What is OCI?

The flower form of OCI is Overseas Citizens of India. Its card holders are persons of Indian origin only. Such people, who have taken citizenship of another country, come in it. The holders of OCI cards are valid for all the countries except Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Right from constitution
