There is no need to carry old indian passport (though you can for just in case scenarios) but you MUST carry the passport on which OCI is stamped.

Looks like this guy has written articles to many newspapers, websites, etc., though it was his own fault not to carry proper documents.

rajcanada is right. Canadian passport with OCI stamped must be there along with the OCI card. I have gone number of times after getting OCI, without Indian passport. No one has asked so for. Its not valid anymore.

It is a garbage rule..
Carry a passport and OCI card is ok.. , carry ur old passport that has the stamp and carry OCI card is a bad rule..
Guy is at least raising voice to some bad arbitrary rule that our Indian govt has put..

so you need a card AND a visa.
i know rules are rules but it doesn't make a sense.
card should be enough.
and since OCI is life-long it basically means you need to retain an old, worn out expired passport with the OCI visa on it forever.
i know this guy should have read the rules and it's his fault but the rules are stupid.
i think there is a gap here between the letter of the law and the intent of the law.
