Applied PIO on Jan 09, 2015...Recieved PIO on Jan 20..
Applied for PIO card on Jan 09 th. 2015...
Shock and anger on Jan 15 with new gazette... couldn't believe they can just throw it at us without notice.... was very furious... called, mailed CKGS, Consulate guys, but as you guess, its of no use... was worried since i had to travel to india on Feb end... and with the style of working of CKGS or Consulate ( btw they don't even pick your calls :( ) was thinking about applying for VISA.....

CKGS update said they will sending back application... ...and received package from them on 20th as expected....
and guess what..... a surprise ...CKGS have sent PIO card .....now the card is issued on Jan 14 th and I am sure it will be treated as OCI card hence forth....

Anyway I went thru worry,,shock,,,anger,,,and finally sigh of relief....

I hope it will work with all of people who are going thru anxiety ....and hope Govt of India improves on treating Indians well, henceforth....
