NRIs, Overseas Indians and a lot of Indian diaspora who lives abroad, this is for you guys. I want to finally put to rest a lot of rumours that are being generated in the west that all Indians who live abroad have to get Aadhaar cards made and they have to travel back and get these Identification cards made i.e. Aadhaar card. It is being said that It is vital must if you have properties in India. I want to put to rest all those rumours that are circulating outside and a lot of people that are calling to us whether this is true and what is the deadline they have. Let me start by saying that this is absolutely baseless. Aadhaar cards are only and only needed by resident Indian citizens. NRI’s, overseas Indians and people of Indian Origin who do not live in India or do not have an earning in India DO NOT NEED AN AADHAAR CARD at all for any purposes. So please, trash all that news. It is baseless completely and Aadhaar cards are not required by NRIs. Do not believe in people saying otherwise. If at all that changes through a notification by the government we would be the first to tell you through Blogs, websites etc. I thought I should do a video about Aadhaar card is not needed and you do not need to travel back to India for making it.
Another constant enquiry which we have dealt with is PAN Cards. PAN Cards I.e. Permanent Account Number is your number which is registered with Income Tax Department of India. There are a lot of questions about “Should NRIs have a PAN Card” or “How do you make one” etc. etc. My advice on PAN card is anybody irrespective of the fact that if he/she is a resident Indian needs a PAN if he/she has a property in India. You need to register with the Income tax department, you need to get your PAN Card done. PAN Cards can be applied online. Just type PAN-Open the Government website. There is a full-fledged module where you can apply and deposit the fee. They would send the PAN Cards to the country of your residence. You can do it yourself. You can do that through several agents too present here for those who are not familiar online. It is a fairly simple way to do it and you must have it if you have a property in India because you can neither sell or buy property without a PAN Card. It does not mean you need to file your taxes. Even if you do not have an income in India, you need to file it saying no income in India. So, you need to have a PAN Card if you have a property in India and any type of Bank account in India.
The OCI cards. There are so many people who do not understand OCI Card. OCI is basically Overseas citizen of India which in fact allows you to travel visa free to India. It is nothing but a recognition that you are in spite of your citizenship other than India, they recognise you and differentiates you from the foreigners. So, in spite of the fact that you are a UK Citizen or a US Citizen or an Australian citizen-you are treated differently than a foreigner. So OCI Card gives you unlimited access to travel to India, it gives you a recognition. A lot of time when you want to buy properties and you have foreign passports, the OCI Card helps you to buy properties. A lot of states are making this mandatory for people who live overseas to have an OCI Card. So OCI card does not affect your current citizenship at all. It does not offer you Indian Citizenship or dual citizenship. Just merely OCI Citizen means Overseas citizens of India and they recognise you as persons of Indian Origin. I would recommend anybody or everybody who needs to visit India often get an OCI Card.
