    Yes, you do need to submit an employment letter from your current employer if you are applying for OCI. However, currently, if you are not working or do not have a job you can submit the employment letter from your last job, pay slip, or tax documents as financial proof.

    I also recently applied for an OCI and the officials there asked me to submit an OCI employment letter written on company letterhead. With this, in case you are self-employed instead of an employment letter you can submit your business registration documents.

    Yes, if you are employed, you need to submit an employment letter for OCI signed by your employer. In case, you are not working now, you can provide the employment letter of your last job. Last year, I also went through this and it was an easy process.
