Yes, an OCI cardholder can apply for an Aadhaar card in India if they fulfil the residency requirements. They must have stayed in India for more than 182 days in the 12 months preceding their application.

    As far as I know, the 182-day stay requirements do not apply to OCI cardholders anymore. However, I am not sure, and you must check the official websites before applying.

    When I applied for an Aadhaar card, I was required to provide certain documents, including address proof, identity proof, and my OCI card. You should also keep the documents ready in advance to ensure the entire process proceeds smoothly.
