While the scheme provides work permit as well as lifelong visa facilities, the new rules could create some administrative problems in terms of employment for both OCI cardholders seeking jobs as well as their employers.
"Following the 2021 OCI notification, cardholders will be required to obtain special permit from the foreign regional registration office (FRRO) to undertake research activities, journalistic activities, internship or employment with foreign diplomatic missions or foreign government organisations in India," Anshul Prakash, a partner at corporate law firm Khaitan & Co, said. "This increased pre-approval requirement means that not only do these individuals have to face administrative inconvenience, but any university, organisation or establishment that engages OCI cardholders for the purpose of the above-mentioned activities in India will also have to ensure that the concerned cardholders have the necessary permit in place prior to their engagement date."
