516. Can fathers nativity certificate from India help son get OCI . . .
Questions: Dear Sir, I note that you have a good note on the above subject. I have a question: My father was born in India. If he gets the nativity certificate in his name, am I eligible for OCI? Hitesh Answer: If your father was born in India and can get a nativity certificate to prove his Indian citizenship it would certainly help you with your OCI application. Being the son of a former Indian citizen would make you a person of Indian origin. While your father is in the process of getting a nativity certificate in India, it would be prudent to get some documentation on your grandparents also, they may also have had roots in India and can help your application. I am not sure what citizenship you currently hold, kindly note that in case an applicant has ever been a citizen of Pakistan or Bangladesh, they will not be eligible for OCI.
