Carrying the expired passport with the \"U\" visa is perfectly fine and it is not a matter of \"safe/unsafe side\". The user has a choice of traveling with the old passport (with U visa) along with the new passport as advised by the Indian government.
I agree with Cdn_dude. I have renewed my Canadian passport and see NO reason to visit Indian consulate to paste a fresh sticker on your new one.
You can carry your old passport(with OCI sticker), OCI booklet and New passport to India.
I would say avoid the hassle of visiting the Indian consulate until you are 50 yrs old.

But as per the following written on the website, children have to get the sticker on their new passports
I am stressed now as we dont have 60 days left to visit to India and re-issue of OCI sticker might take that much time: confused:
*****In case of issuance of new foreign passport
This would require re-issuance of OCI registration certificate and visa each time a new foreign passport is issued in the following cases.
1.Up to the completion of 20 years of age, OCI documents have to be re-issued each time a new passport is issued to the holder.
2.Between 21-50 years of age, there is no need to seek re-issuance of OCI documents each time a new passport is issued. However, if the applicant desires, he/she may avail the service for re-issuance of OCI documents.
