extending stay in India for more than 180 days

[manishw]

My daughter has a 10 year multiple entry visa for India. She can stay for upto 180 days during each visit. What do we need to do if she wants to stay for more than 180 days? Have anyone faced a similar situation? WHen I sent an email to the Indian consulate in San Francisco, they sent me a one line reply:
TROURIST VISA - MAX STAY 180 DAY, NOT EXTENDABLE

There has to be a way out. I would really appreciate your suggestions.

OCI (dual citizenship) or PIO (Person of Indian origin) card allows staying beyond 180 days but not visa.
