Comments on: Aadhaar News for NRIs and OCIs! India Simplifies Rules and Introduces Specific Forms https://www.indianeagle.com/travelbeats/new-aadhaar-forms-and-rules-for-nris/ Indian American Community Magazine Tue, 11 Mar 2025 16:13:39 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.2.6 By: Mohan https://www.indianeagle.com/travelbeats/new-aadhaar-forms-and-rules-for-nris/#comment-19774 Tue, 11 Mar 2025 16:13:39 +0000 https://www.indianeagle.com/travelbeats/?p=33351#comment-19774 Besides the challenge of staying in India for 182 days, the bigger issue is becoming a “resident” for tax purposes. This means our worldwide income—including bank interest, dividends, capital gains from foreign property sales, and withdrawals from retirement funds—will be subject to taxation in India. Essentially, despite the OCI card granting rights similar to those of Indian citizens (except for voting and purchasing agricultural land), the tax implications make it significantly restrictive.

It would be in the best interest of the future of India to allow dual citizenship. Aadhaar, Pan and the Food and drug card, NRI,OCI and PIO are to be given at the port of entry,
India has the largest population of NRI in the world and they bring foreign currencies for the development of the future of India,
MISTREATMENT’S of NRI,OCI and PIO would destroy and divide India soon,
India is still sleeping and unable to advance in accordance with the time.

The 6 month stay period seems oddly arbitrary as I would still be considered OCI? Not to mention who has the time to spend in India who work and have family in their non-Indian country.

If Adhaar Card is intended for only for Residents than they should have just called it that and if would have improved their dependency within official channels. I have to provide it for arbitraty use cases that make no sense (getting SIM card, opening a local Credit Card, etc). If these are Resident specific tasks then getting Adhaar Card makes sense. If they aren’t, then why in the hell are all the companies requiring it?

I want to invest into the future of India as I see great potentially, but policies like these are a total turn-off if we can’t even spend a little time in the Country without having having all the necessary documents for most day to day tasks without completing an initial 6 months for the Adhaar Card.

This country is hopeless, every rule they make in this country no one understands even the people who made those rules. Just go to the Aadhar center and try to apply for new Aadhar as an NRI, see what happens!

These politicians only travel to other countries to boast how india is developing, and ask NRIs to invest in india, but once you want to get done anything here, it’s nothing but nightmare…hopeless country as always!

I am UK citizen and an OCI card holder since 2011. While Aadhar was being launched, I was in India visiting family. I went to see the nearest Aadhar Application center to help my dad submit his application and the person at the center also applied my aadhar card. Although, I have not used my Aadhar card, I have one. Later I learned by 185 days stay rule in India, however it was too late. Not sure if I should start using my Aadhar card, as its already with me. Any advise?
