A large number of people of Indian-origin have acquired OCI status after being naturalised as British citizens in the UK. The scheme launched by the Indian government in December 2005 has been welcomed by the Indian diaspora.
The Foreign Office has confirmed in a letter to a London-based solicitors company, Freemans Solicitors, that when OCI holders are in India, they will continue to be treated as British citizens and will be entitled to consular assistance.
The letter by Louse Edwards from the Consulate Directorate of the Foreign Office says that the OCI status does not affect a person's nationality under international law.
