PIO form: proof of address in India ?

[sammySam]

On the PIO form, they ask "proof of permanent address in india"
What proof have people submitted?

Is having that address on the Indian passport enough?
(last indian passport which will be canceled)

"Permanent address in India(verifiable)" - can be the same as the one you had on your Indian passport, or whatever is your CURRENT/VERIFIABLE address in India.

What is PIO again?

It is a 'Person of Indian Origin' card - an alternative to short-term visa and OCI for former Indian citizens.

In the PIO application (http://cgisf.org/visa/piocard.pdf), one of the required documents is:What constitutes such proof? A PIO may not even have a permanent address in India!

No need. Just write down the same local address which you used in your
earlier Indian passport - assuming some one from your family does stay there even today.

You can simply enter the address from your Indian passport. That should do.

Just call up the consulate and verify if this is fine. Their goal is not to make it impossible for people to claim PIO. You need not be living at that address now. They don't check those things.
