Ashok Chellani says
As far as an Aadhar card for an OCI, there should be a method of online application.It is not pratically possible for an individual holding a U S Citizenship but of Indian Origin to come all the way to India to apply for an Aadhar Card.
The authorities concerned should work out a procedure for such persons.
Gope Ahuja says
So an OCI applying for Aadhar card need to live in India for six months. What kind of silly requirement is this? The applicant has to rent a house for 6+ months to apply and then wait for unknown time to receive the card at his rental home!
Sandeep Karkhanis says
I am puzzled about this 180 day requirement. So as somebody that gave up their Indian passport, I am good enough to get an OCI card , which allows me to stay, work, run businesses in India (except Vote or buy agricultural land) but I can’t get an aadhar card which allows me to pay or make investments?
also, how reasonable is it to expect somebody to give up their jobs, family and move to India to get an aadhar card?
I know of a fair number of people who gave up their Indian passport and got an aadhar card before the 180 day rule was introduced – so how is this consistent?
I fear this will cause more and more people to be left out .
komal jindal says
We know abt this issue, Govt might amend this rule sooner.
subramanyam mekala says
The 180 days requirement does not seem to be reasonable. Please consider to waive this requirement.
Ashok Chellani says
This means the 180 days stay in India for an Indian having a U S passport and an OCI can now apply for Aadhar Card right.
