OCI - new rules

[prpratap]

I have some questions regarding the newly issued rules on OCI cards.

I am 56 years old, and a US citizen. I am an OCI card holder. My OCI card was issued on 22/2/2009. My passport expired in 2010 and I got a new passport then. I have traveled to India a couple of times on this new passport, with the OCI sticker in the old passport.

1. According to the new rules, if I get a new passport, I need to get my OCI card reissued. Does this apply to my current passport, or to the passport that I get when the current one expires in 2020?

2. From what I understand, it takes about 60 days to process an application for an OCI card. I will be traveling to Germany on work next Saturday (May 11) and will then travel to India in July. How do I work this out?

3. My wife (who is 54 and in the same boat) will be traveling to India on May 28th. Will we have problems at Delhi airport?

Update: I talked to Ms. Goswami (I believe she is the Second Secretary) at the Indian Embassy in Washington, DC, and she told me that I should have no problems. She also told me that I should email them with my experiences (which means that they have no idea what is going on).

1. Current passport.
2. You don't have to send your original passport when you apply for new OCI. You send your original passport only when they ask for it.
3. Possible. There is so much lack of clarity about this matter that no one can say for sure what will happen. If Indian Embassy can't tell for sure, no one else can.
