AN E-MAIL SENT BY Consulate General of India - San Francisco TO A RIDER ABOUT HIS REQUEST TO REPRESENT INDIA IS REPRODUCED BELOW FOR THE INFORMATION OF MEMBERS.
Dear Sir/Madam,
Please refer to your e-mail. Firstly, the Overseas Citizen of india [OCI] card is NOT granted to Indian citizens. Secondly, the Government of India does not recognize dual nationality. As you have acquired US nationality, you have ceased to be an Indian national.
Thank you.
