Hi
We just got our OCI recently, and successfully cancelled the Indian passports.
  1. For international travel to India, do we still need to carry the cancelled Indian passports? Or should just the Certificate of renunciation be relevant?
  2. What happens to the Indian Aadhar card? Is it automatically cancelled as a result of Renunciation?
Thanks.

1. You can carry your Indian passport, but your most important documents are the OCI and Canadian passport. Certificate of renunciation not necessary.
2. Aadhaar has no bearing on the Indian passport. If you want to be pedantic, you can surrender them if you want to.
