Kindly note that normal processing time for a new OCI application (based on Indian origin) is 4-5 weeks from the date of registration of the application in the Consulate whereas for re-issuance/updation of OCI Cards, it is 5-6 weeks. This is subject to getting necessary clearance from Ministry of Home Affairs(MHA).
Further, it may be noted that OCI cards cannot be expedited or processed on emergency basis. If one has travel to India under emergency, he/she is advised to apply for appropriate visa which can be done even while his/her OCI application is under process.
