Indian Entry Visa X Clarification

I need some clarification on few questions. Couldn't find any reference on the Indian Consulate or Travisa Outsourcing website. No one picks up phone at the Houston Consulate to answer questions.

I got five year, Entry (X) visa with multiple entry endorsement. I read on Travisa website that for X visa type, an individual can stay in India for the entire duration of the visa and not be constrained by 180 days stay allowed on Tourist visa. Also, there is no restriction on multiple visit to India, i.e., one doesn't have to wait for two months (after their last visit) to make a trip. Is this information correct?

I noticed a small printed statement on the visa page that reads "Registration required within 14 days of arrival in India for visas valid for more than 180 days." I was under the impression that for X visa type, Registration is not required. Any insights on this will be much appreciated. If registration is needed, how does one do it?

Thanks for your help in this matter.
 
All visas except OCI require registration. I think the only exception is minors are not required to register, but there had been some inconsistent requirement on this.
 
X visa requires you to register as soon as you arrive in India. THis is for all visas with validity of more than 6 months. You will ahve to contact the nearest FRRO foreigners registration office in a city. Ask at the airport when you land or ask airline personnel. This registration is different from 2 month wait requirement.
 
So there is no need to register if you are going for less than 180 days right?

Can someone please confirm that. Thanks.
 
I don't know that. What are the different types of VISAS that we have for India and which one do we need to take.
