So, that said, harping on how OCI is not exactly the same as NRI is unfounded. Yes. I am pissed that I lost 10,500. Wife is flying out tomorrow and I was told earlier that she would be able to get them swapped at AMD RBI branch. I guess not per the Jan 4 bulletin.
Ironically, the move was to wipe out black money and this money was the money grand parents and uncles and aunts gave to my kids on our way back in Jan 2012 when we had a family trip to India. I suppose, since the Rs were illegally brought out of the country, they do infact qualify as black money.
I sent a twitter message to Sushma Swaraj and PMO quoting the NRI /OCI chart . No reply . i also emailed RBI no reply. I guess the best way to return the favor is to boycott these people when they visit our current resident countries. Why all the fuss when the left had does not know what the right hand does?
