PERSONS OF INDIAN ORIGIN CARD SCHEME

1. Understanding the sentiments of persons of Indian origin to be closer to their original country and to reinforce their emotional bonds, as well as respecting their desire to participate in the development of the country of their origin, the Government has launched a comprehensive Scheme for the Persons of Indian Origin - called the "PIO Card Scheme". Under this Scheme, Persons of Indian Origin upto the fourth generation (great grand parents) settled throughout the world, except for a very few specified countries, would be eligible.
   
2. The Card would be issued to eligible applicants through the concerned Indian Embassies/High Commissions/Consulate and for those staying in India on a long term visa, the concerned Foreigners Regional Registration Officer (Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkatta and Chennai) would do the same.
   
   
3. Validity of PIO Card: A PIO Card shall be valid for a period of fifteen years from the date of issue subject to the validity of the passport of the applicant.
   
   
4. Fee: The fee for a PIO Card would be Rs. 15000/-(or its equivalent in local foreign currency of the country concerned), payable along with the application. PIO Card to children upto the age of 18 years will be issued at a fee of Rs. 7,500/-(or its equivalent in local foreign currency of the country concerned) for a fifteen year card.
   
5. Gratis Card: Gratis Card may be issued to an exceptionally eminent person of Indian Origin who plays an important role in building bridges between India and the country of his/her adoption, if he/she expresses a desire to obtain the PIO Card.
   
   
6. Facilities to be extended to a PIO Card Holder:
   A PIO Card holder shall not require a separate visa to visit India.
   A PIO Card holder will be exempted from the requirement of registration if his stay on any single visit in India does not exceed 180 days.
   
7. In the even of continuous stay in India of the PIO Card holder exceeding 180 days, he/she shall have to get himself/herself registered within 30 days of the expiry of 180 days with the concerned Foreigners Regional Registration Officer/Foreigners Registration Officer.
   
   
8. All PIOs including PIO Card holders, shall enjoy parity with NRIs in respect of all facilities available to the latter in the economic, financial and educational fields except in matters relating to the acquisition of agricultural/plantation properties. No parity shall be allowed in the sphere of political rights.
   
   
9. Validity of existing PIO Cards: PIO Cards issued under the scheme notified in 1999 at US $ 1000 will continue to remain valid. While no refund shall be available, the validity of such cards would be extendable for a further period of 10 years (i.e. 30 years in all), if so applied for by the card holder, without any extra cost.
   
10. The above steps would go a long way in renewing and strengthening the emotional bond amongst PIOs with the land of their origin. The attractive features of the Scheme will further exhort them to play an increasingly constructive role in the socio-economic and cultural development of the country of their origin.
