OCI Alert, Aug. 13 -- The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), has now tightened rules for Overseas Citizens of India (OCI), stating that their registration can be revoked if they are sentenced to at least two years in prison or are charge-sheeted for an offence carrying a potential jail term of seven years or more.

The move is aimed at tightening the legal framework governing OCI status, which grants certain rights and privileges to foreign citizens of Indian origin, according to Akashvani.
