open an office restart my old practice . Can I do that as an
OCI holder ? Please guide me on this .
02. If I can this , than do I required some registration .

A. If you are not applying to work for the Indian Government
or run for political office you can do what ever work you like
as long as it is legal and abides by the local, municipal, state
and government laws applicable to the type of work you want
to do.
I am not sure what sort of licensing is required to practice
taxation in India for those wanting to provide taxation
consultancy etc. However since you are already in India and
have previously worked in the same field you should be able
to find the current rules regarding the services you wish to
provide from a lawyer, perhaps a taxation lawyer. Sorry I
can't be of more help.
