As an OCI (without sposal or minor children exceptions) you can travel only in case of family emergency (unless that has changed AGAIN(.
The quarantine, you agree to, is 14 days.
But in practice 7 days are imposed.
This being India everything is "negotiable"
But you really need good "connection" to bypass quarrantine completely. They will insist on at least 2 nights as that wil ensure that transport, hotel, doctor, labs, catering - everyone gets paid. (With Vande Bharat con game in full swing, hotels are getting enough business)
May be we need a wiki to collect and report ever changing "rules" and situation on the ground.
