The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has announced its decision to accept the revocation certificate as an alternative to the surrender certificate for individuals from erstwhile Portuguese territories in India seeking Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI). This move is expected to ease the OCI application process for many affected individuals who were previously rendered ineligible due to passport requirements.The requirement of a surrender certificate posed challenges for those wanting to apply for OCI cards, particularly for individuals from Goa, Daman & Diu who acquired Portuguese citizenship.
