For sure. Normally within a week you should have it in hand. But with holidays there could be some delay.

This does say you can use that but dealing with BLS can be tricky if they don't have it in there list.
Go for stamped bank statement instead and keep provincial ID as a backup option.
So I'm in a bit of a pickle with the ration card name removal (Maharashtra/Mumbai) and need advice.
My name is there on my family's ration card, the last time we used it to get anything was probably over 30 years ago. We moved to a different part of the city 23 years ago and that was the last time we updated the address on the ration card (only because back then the RC was still considered as an address proof).
At this point, we don't even know if our RC is valid (it's the old fashioned booklet; we never even had it upgraded to the laminated card). Any idea what I can do in this case to submit my OCI application? I've already tried looking up the RC on MH state's NFSA portal and it is a nightmare sifting through thousands of names.

You can take help of your local ration shop to remove your name if you have someone back home to do it. They can help you do it. Also they can verify if your RC is still valid. If not you can submit the no ration card declaration to BLS.
