denied exit from India OCI

[Veena Pillai]

A family member was trying to fly back to Europe but Immigration in Delhi impeded him from taking his flight as he had forgotten the FRO registration paper (a grave mistake to make ).

Is it legal to deny a European national to exit India because he forgot a paper that proves residence in India for over 180days?

Has anybody experienced a similar situation?

Did he stay in India for over 180 days on that trip?

UPDATE: Just saw that he did stay over 180 days.....sorry to ask.
