OCI cardholders, here's a travel hack that can save you more time than any airport lounge access. India now offers a little-known program called FTITTP, also known as Fast Track Immigration Trusted Traveller Program. If you are an eligible OCI cardholder or an Indian citizen, you can use automated e-gates instead of waiting in regular immigration long, long queues. The process is simple. First, apply online, then complete your biometric registration with fingerprints and a photo at a designated airport or FRRO office. Once approved, you will receive a confirmation by email. After that, every time you travel through participating Indian airports, you can clear immigration through your self-service e-gates in minutes. No long lines, no waiting, no manual immigration counters. If you travel to India even once or twice a year, this is something you should know about. Save this reel and share it with any other OCI cardholder or NRI traveller you know.
