Stupid Indian Sec Clr
Did mine last yr - was a ****ty experience, 4 months of hell & nobody knowing what was going on, or where my papers were.
I'm holding a UK passport & OCI, but Indian Govt officials - re. clueless dickheads, haven't got a idea of how to run anything. All this crap for an RTR. Finally got help from a family member - v.big wig in Indian Army - who shouted at some people & they just cleared me. IMO, I don't think any real clearances take place, but that's subjective to how the system works.
Anyway, all's well that ends well - good luck to all
