Questions about visiting India on OCI

[Mehul123]

Hi All,
I have got 2 questions about visiting India on OCI.

I will be visiting Bangalore as part of company visit. I think I can visit it based on OCI. I am fairly certain on this. But, can someone please confirm, if this is ok?

Also, my next question is. I would like to take my canot t4i digital slr camera to India to take pictures. I cannot find information that says if I can carry it or not. Can someone tell me, if we are allowed to take it or not? Will any custom official harass me on that? I will also be flying from Bangalore to Ahmedabad via domestic flight. Will there be any issue there?


I will appreciate your feedback on this. Thanks.

Mayank,

You are good with both the questions.
Being an OCI, you are a citizen of India (kind of). You can visit for work or pleasure and stay as long as you want.
For the camera, they might want to know if you returning for good or going back. Show your return tickets and you can carry the camera without duty. They might record it in your passport. On the way back, they might check to make sure you are carring a camera with you (doesn't matter which camera).
