OCI IN LIEU OF PIO.
All Pio card holders require to obtain loci before Sept. 30 2018.
My minor son got PIO in 2014 due to real prevailing at that time "MINORS WERE NOT ISSUED OCI BUT ONLY PIO".thus we were forced to apply for PIO even we wanted OCI. Now for conversion even though PIO is valid for 15 year and my son is 8 years minors, .CKGS is asking to pay fee of US4 124. Why ? it is absurd. Hon'ble P M Narendra Modi specifically said in his speech of New York that all PIO will be treated as OCI. Then why now consulate is insisting for converting PIO to OCI and that is also with exorbitant fee ? On contacting CKGS they direct us to contact consulate and link they are giving e mail address is totally wrong and our efforts of sending e mails to officers of consulate returns with "E MAIL DOES NOT EXIST'. Why Ckgs is misguiding us.Totally irresponsible
Please can anyone inform me how to contact Indian consulate and represent my case.I will be thankful.
