You can submit by post or in person

 

Can you apply for OCI from India?
Persons of Indian origin who are in India, can apply for OCI in India provided they are in India legally and the visa they hold when apply for OCI in India has at least a three month validity from the date of their OCI application.

I visited the OCI site but it does not say anything about renunciation.

I believe first we need to renounce Indian citizen and get Indian passport back with stamp that its canceled due to foreign citizenship acquired.

 

So how do we apply for renunciation?

I thought , it has been done already.  You need to check whether you can apply both.  Here in NY, ( my area), I did renunciation first and then OCI, but Washington DC allows to do together.
