Querry is for Legal experts and the Ministry of Law, Home affairs(dealing NRIs).
Recent news item in all the news papers and media have high lighted that Govt is making a law to give VOTING RIGHTS TO NRIs.
An OCI ( overseas citizen of India) is also an NRI as per Govt notification. He or she may be holding a passport of another country(not India).
WILL AN OCI WILL ALSO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE VOTING RIGHT AS HE/SHE HAS AN NRI STATUS WHILE IN INDIA.
