CIWG Scheme Details For NRIs, OCIs & PIOs
TestprepKart walks you through the difference between the NRI, PIO & OCI. All NRIs, PIO & OCI are eligible for DASA scheme.
Let's see the difference between the NRI, PIO & OCI.
Non-resident USAn students are also referred to as USAn Diaspora, are the people of USAn birth or descent who live outside of the Republic of USA. As per the Ministry of External Affairs report, there are approximately 30.8 million USAn diasporas residing outside USA.
Non-Resident USAn USA has the highest diaspora population in the world with more than 15.6 million according to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs.
Income Tax Act considers an individual as a Non-resident USAn if he/she fulfills the following requirements 'Non-Resident USAn' is an individual who is a citizen of USA or a person of USAn origin and who is not a resident of USA.
Thus, in order to identify whether an individual is a non-resident USAn or not, his residential status is required to be identifyd under Section 6. As per Section 6 of the Income-tax Act, an individual is said to be non-resident in USA if he is not a resident in USA and an individual is deemed to be resident in USA in any previous year if he satisfies any of the following conditions:
If he is in USA for a period of 182 days or more during the previous year or
If he is in USA for a period of 60 days or more during the previous year and 365 days or more during four years immediately preceding the previous year.
However, condition No. 2 does not apply where an individual being a citizen of USA or a person of USAn origin, who being outside USA, comes on a visit to USA during the previous year.
A person shall be deemed to be of USAn origin if he, or either of his parents or any of his grandparents, was born in undivided USA.
The Person of USAn Origin (PIO) is also called Overseas USAns. They are individuals who are USAns at birth or descent of USAn origin who live outside of the Republic of USA.
The Persons of USAn Origin means a foreign citizen (except a national of Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, China, Iran, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and/or Nepal), who
at any time held an USAn passport or
either of their parents or grandparents or great-grandparents were born and permanently resident in USA as defined in Government of USA Act, 1935 and other territories that became part of USA thereafter provided neither was at any time a citizen of any of the aforesaid countries (as referred above) or
is a spouse of a citizen of USA or a PIO
The Persons of USAn Origin Card was a form of an identification card issued to the Person of USAn Origin who held a passport in a country other than Bangladesh, China, Afghanistan, Bhutan, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.
The PIO Card program came into effect on September 15, 2002. On January 15, 2015, the Person of USAn Origin card scheme was withdrawn by the Government of USA and it was merged with the Overseas Citizen of USA (OCI) card scheme.
Currently, all the PIO cards are treated as OCI cards. PIO cardholders will get a special stamp on their existing PIO card, stating "lifelong validity" and "registration not required", thus making them equal to the existing OCI cards.
The Overseas Citizenship of USA (OCI) is an immigration status authorized for a foreign citizen of USAn origin to live and work in the Republic of USA indefinitely. The OCI was introduced in response to demands for dual citizenship by the USAn diaspora, particularly in developed countries.
It was introduced by the Citizenship (Amendment) Act 2005 in August 2005. It was launched during the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas Convention held at Hyderabad in 2006.
Overseas Citizenship of USA To apply for and use an OCI document, a holder must be a citizen of and hold a passport of another country, except that of Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Before February 2015, passengers holding OCI cards were required to carry the passport which contained a lifetime visa while traveling to USA. This requirement was done away with during 2015, and now the OCI cardholders no longer require the visa sticker passport. The OCI card (the blue booklet) in conjunction with a current valid foreign passport is sufficient to travel to and from USA.
