(posted 2026-08-24). It is an informational short/talk in English featuring a single speaker (labeled SPEAKER A) who explains that a revoked Indian passport does not automatically make someone ineligible for an OCI card. The speaker summarizes eligibility (based on foreign citizenship and Indian-origin criteria under Section 7A of the Citizenship Act), lists required documents (current valid foreign passport, naturalization/citizenship certificate, proof of Indian origin, and—if the Indian passport was surrendered after 2010—the surrender certificate or cancelled/surrendered passport), and warns that a revoked (rather than surrendered) passport may require clarification from the relevant Indian mission. The video invites viewers to comment and follow for updates.

Your Indian passport has been revoked. Can you still apply for an OCI card? The answer may surprise you. First, a revoked Indian passport does not automatically mean you are ineligible for OCI card. OCI eligibility is based on the foreign citizenship and your Indian origin eligibility under Section 7A of Citizen Act. But there is an important document issue. OCI application generally requires your current valid foreign passport, your foreign citizenship or naturalization certificate, and proof of your Indian origin. And if you previously surrendered your Indian passport after 2010, the official requirements also call for surrender certificate or cancelled or surrendered Indian passport. So if your Indian passport was specifically revoked rather than surrendered, don't assume you can simply upload the revoked passport and move ahead. Your case may require additional clarification from the concerned Indian mission. Has your Indian passport ever been revoked?
