1. What is the validity period of PIO (now considered OCI cards)?

Pios are now deemed to be OCIs and valid for lifelong.

The existing PIO Cards are now valid for life of the holder. All the immigration offices have duly been informed by the Government of India that they should affix a ‘Lifelong’ stamp as and when the holder of a 15 year validity card enters/exits any Indian Airport.  If the Immigration Officer does not affix the stamp you should ask for stamping “Lifelong” stamp on the PIO Card. Until new rules are in place endorsement on PIO cards continues.

2. Do these PIO (now considered OCI cads) need to be renewed whenever holders passport is renewed?

You may need to get an endorsement in the card as and when a new passport is issued.

The existing PIO Cards are now valid for life of the holder. All the immigration offices have duly been informed by the Government of India that they should affix a ‘Lifelong’ stamp as and when the holder of a 15 year validity card enters/exits any Indian Airport.  If the Immigration Officer does not affix the stamp you should ask for stamping “Lifelong” stamp on the PIO Card.

there is no in-person for match-up process.. CKGS may be better (than bls, but definitely not good) but not the indian embassy
