Recently moved, Address change in OCI card - Is that absolutely essential?

[morpheus3122]

We recently changed address and our OCI card now has the old address. I understand we can go through the entire pain of updating the address on our OCI card. But is it absolutely essential? Has anyone travelled to India with old address in OCI card and faced issues?

You must apply for misc services if you change your occupation / address
That being said, per MEA rules, only the application needs to be submitted online to update records. New OCI won't be issued

"In case of change of address/occupation, no hard copy of the application is required to be submitted to the Indian Mission/Office and therefore, new OCI documents shall not be issued. Upon submission of online application, the data shall be captured and new address/occupation shall be printed which may be kept in the OCI registration certificate booklet for record purpose."
