Minor's OCI upon passport renewal

[NewBie_2000]

My kid (minor) has an OCI card based on his last US passport.
Now my kids US passport is renewed.

Do we need to renew my kid's OCI card (or apply for new oci) based on the new passport?

Researching a bit on web, i didn't find anything on vfsglobal. but came across below article

https://indianembassyusa.gov.in/pages/NjI

*** here is the excerpt from the article mentioned above****
(ii) OCI cardholder is required to get the OCI card re-issued only once when a new passport is issued after completing 20 years of age. (Applicants may refer to https://services.vfsglobal.com/usa/e...y-oci-services for the process). The fees for this is US$ 25 and US$ 3 for Indian Community Welfare Fund (ICWF). You also need to pay US$ 15.90 to the Outsourcing Agency as service charge, and a fee for any Optional Services used like Shipping Labels;

it seems if oci card holder does not need to re-issue oci card upon renewal of his/her passport if they are below 20 years of age. DID I INTERPRET THIS CORRECT?

also, not sure on the authenticity of the website indianembassyusa.gov.in

Can you please provide feedack on my interpretation and also on the authenticity of the website?

are there are more official website that provide guidance on this matter?

appreciate all the help on this.
