No, if a person is holding more than one nationality, then he or she cannot apply for an OCI card because, according to the Indian Citizenship Act, if a person is holding dual citizenship, then they don't qualify to apply for an OCI card, as Indian does not allow dual citizenship. However, if you have a single citizenship and want to apply for an OCI card, then you are eligible to register as an OCI cardholder.
Can I apply for an OCI card, and if eligible, then what is the process to apply for an OCI?
Yes, if you have a single citizenship, then you are eligible to apply for an OCI card. You can apply for an OCI from the OCI services website by filling out an online application form for the new OCI card application and uploading all the supporting documents for the OCI application. Then you need to pay the required fees for the OCI application, book an appointment with your nearest application center, and submit your printed OCI application, with all the supporting documents, at the application center.

According to the Indian Constitution, India does not allow dual citizenship, so if any person who has dual citizenship is not qualified to register as an OCI cardholder, but if a person has a single citizenship of India or a foreign country with a valid passport, then he or she can easily register for an OCI application.
