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.
