Now. I am not debating whether the OCI holder gets the same parity as NRIs or not but I have read dozens of articles citing it was illegal to carry the notes to begin with. The "official" India sites are very hard to navigate however.

Can you please post an official rule that is recent that allows one to carry a certain amount of Rupees legally? I have not found that either.
