Answer: I don’t quite understand who has told you that you cannot travel to India. If you have a valid UK passport and OCI. Then even though you have not transfered your OCI visa to new passport you can travel to India as long as you take the OCI card with you. The booklet issued to you when you got your OCI will have all your OCI information on it. This is now accepted as proof of OCI.
