Thanks! refund/payment for the application is a great feature, thanks to customer service for the quick help in resolving this issue.
A very quick turnaround for the e-visa. I had some issues with Safari, but once I downloaded Firefox it was a smooth process! Love the real time chat feature - Jugal was most helpful. Thank you!
You guys rock! CKGS' help during the preparation, processing and tracking is very impressive. It helped my wife, mother-in-law and my daughter to get their OCI card over the past 3 months. In each instance, CKGS' people and systems performed admirably.
Extremely courteous, outstanding service. Nothing can be better than this endeavour. Thanks a lot.
I got my new OCI card and old/cancelled PIO card. You have done a wonderful job. The website, tracking, processing and shipping - all worked fantastic. Thank you very much.

All PIO cards are valid until September 30, 2018. AFTER September 30, 2018, PIO card will be considered as an invalid travel document. Therefore, all applicants, who have not yet converted their PIO cards to OCI card, are requested to apply for OCI in lieu of PIO before September 30, 2018.
Foreign nationals can travel with valid travel document i.e. Passport and PIO Card if the date of their journey commenced ON or BEFORE September 30, 2018.
I love the way this process is handled. Kudos guys.
