    For the PIO to OCI conversion application, an individual needs to pay a fee of 137$ to get an OCI card. According to the Government of India, the issuance of new PIO cards was discontinued, effective from January 9, 2015. Therefore, individuals who hold a PIO card must apply for conversion to OCI through the official OCI services by filing an online application form.
