Thanks for your quick replies.
The following language on CKGS' website got me confused (http://www.in.ckgs.us/pio.shtml)

"
OCI in lieu of PIO card:
  • Existing valid PIO cardholders must apply for OCI card under OCI in lieu of PIO card category.
  • Consular fee for this OCI category is Gratis.
  • Applicants will be required to pay CKGS service fee, Indian Community Welfare Fund Fee (ICWF) and fee for any other optional services availed.
  • Initially for a period of 3 months until 17 June, 2015, submission of the application for OCI card in lieu of PIO card will be voluntary.
  • However, after the initial period of 3 months from 18 June 2015, it will be made mandatory.
