An OCI Card must be reissued each time a new passport is issued for an individual up to the completion of 20 years of age and once upon completing 50 years of age (and obtaining a new passport). Re-issuance is not required between the ages of 21-50. As you have not renewed your passport since turning 50 years of age, at this time there is no requirement for you to re-issue the OCI card.
However, you must be sure to re-issue the OCI card once you renew your passport.
The OCI Miscellaneous Services portal to upload the recent passport and photograph has not yet been launched. It is expected to be launched by the end of June 2021. Travelers who wish to travel to the U.S. and have a valid B-2 (visitor) visa will still need to obtain approval from the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in India for a National Interest Exception to travel to the U.S. directly from India. However, if a traveler were to spend 14 days in a third country that is not subject to the ban, the individual may travel to the U.S. It is important to consider other challenges like third-country requirements or airline restrictions that may apply to travelers.
