Thanks much for this info, folks, I shall look into this with the consulate here in NY before our summer travel.
To be honest, I was in the same situation as you, with not knowing "Lifelong" did not mean "lasting or remaining in a particular state throughout a person's life" for a child
Does anybody know any instance when a child (or senior) was denied entry into India because they were <20 (or >50) years old with an non-reissued OCI card??
Because this has always confused me

OCI card holders shall now be given Immigration clearance on the strength of their valid forign [sic] passport and OCI Registration Certificate (OCI booklet, popularly known as OCI card)
It's like everything the govt. of India publishes contradicts something else... and it confuses everyone
