BLS website checklist states that (for new OCI who were Indian citizens):
"Background – Background should be plain white colored without borders "
(https://www.blsindia-canada.com/toronto-jurisdiction/pdf/How-to-apply-Fresh-OCI-Card-for-adults-who-were-previously-Indian-Citizens-Toronto-Jurisdiction.pdf)

OCI website says that:
Photograph to be affixed on the application should be a square shape of size not less than 51*51mm (with 80% coverage of face). It should have plain light color background (not white) without the border with front view of person's head and shoulders showing the full face in middle of the photograph.

Which one to follow?
