Indian passport surrender

[iWish2]

Really..So you are saying bls confirmed that after processing by consulate, they will send you back all documents (all oci if oci or all surrender certificates) together in 1 courier?

They didn't confirm anything. Right now it is under processing at CGI. Will come to know what happens next once the processing is completed.
