I want to find out my options of settling down in India with my US born kids. My self and my wife were born in India and are Indian Citizens. Our kids were born in US and hold US passports. Based on my research, I believe they are not eligible for OCI cards. They do have PIO cards but since this is a permanent move to India for good, I would like to avoid the hassle of reporting back to the local police authorities every 6 months for PIO card validation/extension. Is there any other way to work through this ? Please advise.

Children under 16 years of age do not require registration with local police. See http://immigrationindia.nic.in/faq_registration2.htm
Thanks for the response. I really appreciate it. That was really good to know. So if my son after turning 16 wants to continue living in India should we register with Indian police every 6 months or is it enough to do it once ? Probably you may understand this better, dealing with local police on a periodic basis may prove to be a pain. What is FRRO ? Thanks.
Registration is required only once - see http://mha.nic.in/pdfs/oci-chart.pdf
