Yes, as an OCI, you can get an Aadhaar card. However, you need to prove that you have been living in Indian for 182 days. As compared to a few years back, the Aadhaar card rules are stricter now. So, before applying for the Aadhaar card, cross-check all the information and the list of required documents.

    Yes, an Aadhaar card is not a citizenship proof of any individual, so even OCI is eligible to get this. For this, the only thing they need to fulfil is the 182-day requirement of staying in India.

    The primary requirement to obtain an Aadhaar card is that the applicant should be a resident of India at the time of card application. This means that they should continuously live in India for 182 days or more, irrespective of whether the applicant is an Overseas Citizen of India or not. So, if an OCI cardholder fulfils the following requirements, they can get an Aadhaar card.

    Yes, an OCI cardholder is eligible to apply for the Aadhaar card, but there are no strict rules as per the Government of India, which states it is compulsory to have the card for an OCI or NRI, as it is for citizens of India. Additionally, the Aadhaar card does not apply to citizens of another country.

    OCI cardholders who live in India for over 182 days continuously in a year and have an Indian address can apply for an Aadhaar card in India. As per this, OCI cardholders are eligible to obtain an Aadhaar card if they fulfil the 182-day requirement stated by the Indian government.
