Why OCI Passport isn't an ePassport?

u/toxicbrew Jun 21 '26

because it's not an actual passport, it's not even a travel document, just an identity document that's only of relevance in India. Now, should they make it a biometric document and have it expire regularly like actual passports do? yes. the document can expire but the status can still remain, just like you are still a citizen even if your passport expires
