A COMPARATIVE LOOK AT NRIs, OCIs AND PIOs 

                                                         

Indian citizenship and citizenship of a Foreign nation can't be held in the meantime as it is not permitted by the Constitution of India. Another class of Citizenship i.e., Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) was in this manner made by altering the Constitution to trade off with double citizenship. 

Double Citizenship and holding of two nationalities in the meantime of two distinct nations is completely denied by both Article 9 of the Constitution of India and Section 9 of the Indian Citizenship Act, 1955.OCI are particularly disallowed political rights and different rights by Section 7B of the Citizenship Act and they have just various passage deep rooted visa office to visit India at whatever time for any reason. 

Under the Ministry of Home Affairs Scheme of August 19, 2002, the enrollment of Person of Indian Origin ( PIO ) Card holders was begun and from December 2, 2005 the OCI plan got to be operational. We have to know the distinction between a NRI, a PIO and an OCI. 

For this reason, the accompanying depiction is given:

A man inhabitant in India and a man occupant outside India are characterized in Section 2 of the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 ( FEMA ). In any case, this part does not characterize the term NRI. As indicated by a notice, NRI implies a man occupant outside India who is either a Citizen of India or is a man of Indian Origin. 

A man who dwells in India for over 182 days in the former monetary year and who comes or stays in India for any object is a man "inhabitant" in India as indicated by FEMA. A man who is not an inhabitant in India is characterized as a 'Non Resident'. A NRI, consequently, is an Indian Citizen who commonly inhabitants outside India and holds Indian visa.

PIO card holders are allowed to visit India without visa for a long time and need to enroll with Foreigners Registration Officer ( FRO ) in India if the stay is over 180 days constantly. PIOs have equity with NRIs where certain offices are concerned however don't have any political rights and may apply for Indian Citizenship subsequent to dwelling in India for at least seven years. 

Abroad Citizen of India ( OCI ): 

An outside national is qualified for enlistment as OCI on the off chance that he was qualified to wind up a Citizen of India on January 26, 1950, or was a resident of India on or whenever after the said date or had a place with a region that turned out to be a piece of India after August 15, 1947 and his/her youngsters and excellent kids are additionally qualified for enrollment as OCIs. They will appreciate a different passage, multi reason deep rooted visa to visit India, don't need to enlist with Foreigners Registration Officer (FRO)/Police powers however long they may stay in India and have the privilege to advantages informed under Section 7B of the Indian Citizenship Act, 1955. On the off chance that an OCI is enrolled for a long time and dwells in India for one year he can be allowed Indian Citizenship yet will have no political rights.
