OTOH Germany just jacked the price of a simple visa for Indians to 80€, so the investment of 1000$ into a PIO card back in 2002 is paying off
For children in the UK it seems to be better to go for a Evisa as the OCI needs renewal which time the passport is renewed.

Evisa for British passport holders is $80 ( yes 80 USD) for 5 year multiple entry and it can be all done online and you can get the ETA back within a day or two ( all done online)

For the OCi renewal you need to make a personal visit to the VFS office.
