The Union Home Minister, Amit Shah, officially launched an upgraded Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) portal in New Delhi on May 19, 2025. This new portal is designed to address the issues experienced by OCI cardholders with the previous system, providing a smoother, faster, and more user-friendly experience for people of Indian origin living abroad.
The Ministry of Home Affairs developed this platform by incorporating valuable feedback from OCI holders and leveraging technological advancements made over the last decade. The OCI card enables individuals of Indian origin who have acquired foreign citizenship to travel to India without the need for a visa and grants them certain economic and educational benefits.
With the global number of OCI cardholders continuously rising, the government aims to improve digital services to better serve the Indian diaspora. This upgrade represents a significant move towards modernizing and streamlining services, ensuring they are more accessible and efficient.
