Pakistan-born singer and actor Salma Agha will get an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card that will offer her multiple entry, multi-purpose life-long visa to visit India and exemption from reporting to police. “We have decided to grant [singer] Salma Agha the OCI card after following the due procedure,” a senior Home Ministry official said.

As the Home Ministry took the decision to grant her OCI card, Ms. Agha met Home Minister Rajnath Singh. She had applied for the OCI card a few days ago and her application was approved after taking into consideration various aspects, officials said.

The 59-year-old artiste is a citizen of U.K.
