That information is wrong.They still issue PIO's .Also check if there is consular jurisdiction for issuing PIO or OCI in your country. I.e if you live in a certain area ,are you forced to apply to the IHC/ CGI of that area?There is no consular jurisdiction for this matter in the UK. I applied to the IHC london (turnaround time 22 days) rather than CGI Birmingham (which has consular cover for the area that I live but the waiting period was 3 months!!")
However for matters other than OCI or PIO, I'll still have to go to CGI Birmingham.
