Yes, you can travel to India with an OCI card if you have a valid passport. Foreign citizens holding an OCI card must possess a valid passport with at least six months' validity to travel to India. For the OCI cardholder whose new passport has expired or been reissued, they can visit India through their old passport with a U sticker visa.

    You can travel to India only under one condition. If you are an OCI cardholder and you have a 6-month valid OCI card. Then you can easily go to India. However, if you are a foreign citizen of Indian origin without an OCI card, here is a simple application process through which I have also applied for an OCI card on the official OCI services website. Then, by entering all the details and supporting documents for the OCI application, and paying the required fees for my OCI application. After I had booked an online appointment at the nearest application center, I submitted my filed OCI application, with all the supporting documents, and got my OCI card in just a few weeks after submitting my application, and traveled to India with a valid six-month passport.
