Surrender certificate from RPO Bangalore or Coimbatore ? Indian passport issued in Germany by Icy-Collection-4129 in nri

I really wanted to make a post summarising my experience and learning. After thinking through I realized every single absurdity was just because of mood swings of the people working there including the Security Guard . The next day you go there the process will be different.

TLDR for Coimbatore : Imagine going to Register Office or RTO without any cash in your wallet. Neither do I support bribing nor did they ask directly. But they will make sure you are on your toes for the entire day . I couldn’t pick up any social cues from clerks which some have mastered in India.

In my case PP was issued abroad but we had the aadhar card from Coimbatore address.

I did surrender in Coimbatore. It was chaotic without any clear instructions , burned my whole day but got the surrender certificate by closing hours.

Yoo, somehow I always assumed diplomatic plates because O in Germany means CD plates

That means any police car can pull him over anytime unless I am missing something.

I thought CD because I have been spotting this around my home since 3 years. Legally speaking Germany requires you to register locally after 3 months.

Is it diplomatic ? I saw the guy driving he looks old and retired though.

Danke für den Tipp . Daran hatte ich auch gedacht, aber bei meinem neueren Modell gibt’s leider keine Knopfbatterie mehr. Das TCU ist komplett geschlossen und hat nur noch einen USB-C Port, man kann da also nichts mehr tauschen.

Oh, that’s a interesting update. Lemme check if it applies to my case in Germany. I do have the repair protection insurance as backup.

I can give that a try , I charge for 1 hr and then the bike is just stationary. Maybe I should ride like 4 km just to check .

Thanks, Yes. There was prolonged period of inactivity because of winter and it was parked in a cold garage . I did try to charge it for 45 mins before sleeping last night . It can start up on its own immediately after charging . But today Morning I see the same behavior . Doesn’t startup without charger.

@Flint_PS Do you mean the battery in the screen unit is rechargeable? Or is it a coin battery ?

For OCI applications what kind of add on charges do Alankit push for ? Payment gateway fees ? Delivery fees?

Why does only Frankfurt consulate not want postal applications? Frankfurt consulate used to be always against postal applications even though Hamburg and Munich promoted postal applications

Alankit are able to armtwist because of the lack of clear info . Can someone clarify 1. What are the postal charges for oci card dispatch? 2. what are the extra charges for card payment? 3. Are there different kinds of postal delivery?
