This has already been discussed a long time back, and I think a good
explanation
was provided by Paulo Colaco Dias indicating that the Pandit was incorrect in
assuming that the OCI card was a travel document, when in fact it is the OCI
stamp on the passport (current or otherwise) is the correct document to be used
when travelling to India.
The current online OCI application
webpage http://passport.gov.in/oci/OnlineOCIRegistrationG.jsp states right at
the top:
"OCI card holders traveling to India are advised to carry the Passport
containing U Visa sticker and OCI Card to avoid problems at Immigration check
points in India. In case registered OCI has obtained a new passport, kindly
ensure to carry the passport containing U Visa sticker, new passport and OCI
document during all visits to India."
Note that to obtain an OCI today, one has to mandatorily enter all the details
online, before applying in person or otherwise at the nearest VFS office or
consulate/high commission.
