Re: Relocation to India
the kids are only eligible for PIO and not OCI.
to get OCI either mother or father should hold the German passport.
if you have OCI after one year stay in india you can change it to indian passport. It is a good idea to have German pass for kids .. think about it ..

For the case where we have neither PIO nor OCI, how will the case be treated any idea.
>> It is a good idea to have German pass for kids .
But when we plan to relocate and then hold German Pass,then wont it affect everywhere in the sense paying fees etc ...she would be treated as foreigner right.Also by holding this pass without PIO means the kid has to get back to germany in 6 months period of time right.

Re: Relocation to India
why dont you visit and check this document
"http://mha.nic.in/pdfs/oci-chart.pdf".
your kid is eligible for OCI and you should go for it.. why you want to give up german citizenship? your kid is at par with other indian kids in the fileds of education and should not be discriminated. Perhaps greedy private schools try to mislead you in order to demand extra cash for your kids admission, but thats illegal(may be you can ask Anna hazare for help).
Please read this in regards to OCI item iii below:
(i) A multiple entry
multi-purpose life long
visa for visiting India.
(ii)Exemption from
registration with local
police authority for any
length of stay in India.
(iii) Parity with Non
resident Indians (NRIs)
in respect of economic,
financial and educational
fields except in relation
to acquisition of
agricultural or plantation
properties. No parity
shall be allowed in the
sphere of political rights.
Any other benefits to
OCIs will be notified by
the Ministry of Overseas
Indian Affairs (MOIA)
under Section 7B(1) of
the Citizenship Act,
