Yes, as far as my knowledge goes, you need to provide an employment letter for OCI. It is one of the mandatory documents. About the relevant forms or the samples, you will be notified by the place of requirement of this paper. You can use the employment letter for a job in several companies; there are plenty of options for what papers will be needed from you.

    As per the guidelines and rules of the Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) scheme, an employment letter is one of the mandatory documents for individuals who are currently working. This requirement ensures that the OCI applicant has a stable source of income and is financially independent. Skipping it may result in  OCI application rejection.

    Yes, you need to submit an employment letter during your OCI application. However, if you are currently not working, you can submit the offer letter from your last company, or if you are not employed yet, you can write a letter telling about your situation. If used, it should not be an issue for you.

    Yes, you do need to submit an employment letter if you are currently working while applying for the OCI card. During my OCI application, I submitted both a recent salary slip and an employment letter. The aim of it is to know whether you have a stable source of income or not.

    Yes, you do need to submit an employment letter when applying for an OCI card. It helps the authorities to know whether you have a stable income or are dependent on someone to manage your expenses. In case you are currently unemployed but in the past, you were working, you can submit the offer letter from your last company. Additionally, if you do not have an employment letter, you can submit your pay slip as well.

    Applying for an OCI card requires an employment letter, like a letter of employment for rent applications, to know your current job status and ensure all information is accurate. You cannot avoid it, as it may result in facing OCI application rejection. In case you are unemployed, provide a letter explaining your circumstances.
