Hi Folks,
In the "Renunciation Section" of the OCI page http://www.indianembassy.org/newsite/oci.asp, here are 2 paragraphs...
The first one mentions payment method as check, whereas the second para mentions "Money Order". Are they strict about this or are these two terms used Synonymously...?
After the recent dramatic events, it sometimes feels like reading too much into these.... but one can never be sure.....
o Two (2) copies of the completed renunciation form. The application for renunciation may be made on the form in the embassy/consulate of appropriate jurisdiction. If the application is submitted at counter the form should be signed in person. If application is sent by post the signature should be notarized and an additional check of USD 20/- may be sent for mailing charges.
o Renunciation fee of $175 (for those who acquired foreign citizenship on or after June 1 2010 ) or $20 (for those who acquired foreign citizenship until 31 May 2010 ) with a separate Money Order payable to 'Embassy of India'.
Inputs from folks who got their applications processed recently will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your time,
V!
