e-OCI Card launched – How to download on your smartphone

In a bid to ease international travel for the global Indian diaspora, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has officially launched the Electronic Overseas Citizen of India (e-OCI) Card. The e-OCI card is essentially a digital version of your OCI booklet that will help with verification processes overseas, which you can store on your smartphone.

The new initiative, which has been introduced alongside the upgraded FCRA 2.0 compliance portal, converts the traditional physical OCI booklet into a secure digital format that’s easy to reproduce.
