100. How to Renounce OCI - Cancel OCI
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, My name is Amit Thakore. I am a US citizen holding an OCI card in Gujarat. Is it possible for me to submit my OCI card? what are the consequences? Will I be able to apply for OCI if I submit it back ? Please do let me know in detail. Thanking You, Amit Thakore A. I assume by "submit my OCI card" your question relates to asking for the cancellation of your OCI status. OCI holders who wish to voluntarily cancel their OCI status can do so by submitting their intention of renunciation in From XXII to the Indian Mission/Post where OCI registration was granted. After receipt of the declaration, the Indian Mission/Post shall issue an acknowledgement in Form XXII A. Regarding your second question, "Will I be able to apply for OCI if I submit it back" all I can say is that this would depend on the authorities when you re-apply for OCI. Please note that on the application form for requesting OCI, applicants are asked whether the applicant or any member of the applicants family has applied for OCI registration earlier and what was the outcome of their earlier application. You can view a sample of the form required to be filled to renounce OCI HERE Whether you are granted OCI registration a second time would solely depend on the government authorities when they review your application.
