I am from the US, and I have an American passport and an OCI card. I will be traveling to India for about 2 weeks for a vacation, and I will have to work in India for a few days. Do I have to fill out any other documents, apart from what my company has asked me to fill out, to be able to work legally while I am staying in India?
You can work or even run a business in India without facing any restrictions. We have a few friends who are US citizens with OCI currently living in India, some doing jobs, and some managing their family business for the last 9-10 years.

I am an OCI working in India, and I did not face any extra challenges while searching for a job. I did face the usual challenges of finding a new job, but my skills and experience helped me a lot. All you need to do is ensure that you have all the paperwork in place, including your Aadhaar card, bank account, etc. An OCI is treated on par with the other native citizens, so there is no need to worry.
