obi/pio card holders are persuaded to open NRI accounts and why are they not allowed to change their left over money? please do the right thing, allow without delay and declare today, yes they are all equal.

The booklet has declared that OCIs and PIOs have parity with NRIs in financial matters. Hence if NRIs are allowed to exchange their high denomination notes till June 30th it should be allowed for OCIs and PIOs too. Not to allow this is illegal. In the end , It will be beneficial to the GOI also as it is the OCIs who help to maintain Indias forein exhange reserve. Shambhu Varma.

We pay house tax , electricity charges and come every year in January to keep in touch with our roots and relatives but are excluded from the purview of being able to exchange old currency, even as we were not in the country till 5 the January 2017

Please keep parity for OCI with NRI (as documented earlier) w.r.t old currency exchange. Since amount allowed currently for NRI is pretty small, make it simpler to do this exchange, instead of needing to go to 1 of 5 RBI in India.

Need to provide reasonable facility to exchange demonetized 500 & 1000 rupee notes for OCI/ PIO. Treat these people with respect.

Thank you for the petition. If OCI/PIOs are allowed to carry Indian currency outside of India, then they should be allowed to deposit their money too. Govt of India took a very wrong and unreasonable decision. Shame.

Modi govt are doing step children treatment to OCI and PIO card holders. If this remains his policy we will never support India and stay away as far as possible from investing in India. period

Unfortunately, India itslef is not considering the OCI / PIO as Indians.....you are right, everyone has Indian Rs. as needed for taxi, airport food and remainder kept for the next visit to India. Totally understand your point.

Which location did RBI accept your money, as currently they are not allowing anyone except Indian passport holder enter the premises in metro cities.
