Question

Which of the following statements is correct concerning the Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) Scheme as per Citizenship Amendment Act, 2015?
I. It seeks to merge the Person of Indian Origin (PIO) and Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) schemes.
II. It seeks to give equal rights to the OCI card holder as an NRI.

A.

Both I and II

B.

Only I

C.

Only II

D.

Neither I nor II

Correct option is B


The Citizenship Amendment Act, 2015, merged the PIO and OCI schemes into a single category of OCI. However, OCI holders do not enjoy the same rights as NRIs (e.g., voting rights). Hence, only Statement I is correct.
