oci renewal after 50 years

[ram7667]

I will be travelling to india in 1 month, i had my oci renewed(or whatever they call it as) when i was 52 by uploading passport/photo to oci website, got ack that they received and 1 month later it got updated.
Can i travel safe or will the travel desk stop me from going to india.
I thought the OCI has to be renewed physically only after 20 years since it makes sense that the face appearence would have changed significantly and will remain the same for the next 50 years

I thought the same. But the rules have changed!! You can travel!!

This is what is posted on the consular website.
