PIO Card: Kid's staying for more than 6 months in India

[iam4friendz]

My baby has been staying in India with my my wife n family just finished 7months her stay. Realized that PIO card expires in 6 months

What's the best thing to do to take care of this situation, given that she may still stay for few more days, and revisit India in the future too ?

Thanks.

PIO card expires in 6 months?? Are you sure? PIO scheme came into effect in 2002 and cards are issued for 15 years.

Children are not required to register with FRRO in india regardless of the type of visa they hold. See reference below, last bullet item under the first paragraph:
