OCI - Minor (Citizen By Birth)
Mode: Walk-in Application
05-Jul-21: Submitted at BLS Toronto
06-Jul-21: BLS Tracking - underprocess
11-Jul-21: Processing at Consulate General
12-Jul-21: Under process at ociservices.gov.in
14-Jul-21: BLS Tracking - Dispatched via Courier

What does this mean? does this mean original documents were dispatched? The application still shows Under process at ociservices.gov.in

UPDATE: Received the Package today. looks like it in fact was just the original documents.

They need expired passport even after surrender certificate and that too original. Strange. But anyways , thanks for the information.

For my OCI application , I have not sent any originals.
Well according to the document checklist, looks like original Indian passport is a MUST for OCI applications. No other original document (other than the Indian passport) is required. This is according to the checklist for Toronto, not sure if you are located in other jurisdictions.

Did you get an update on your application?

Yes , my application is under process.

BLS status : Processing at CGI
OCI website : under process

Going good so far.

Sorry for the confusion , I did sent my original passport but I completely forgot about it.
Haha LOL. It makes more sense now. BLS is very quick to send back applications that are incomplete. Someone received the application back because the background color of the photo wasn't light enough - They are extremely particular about documentation. I was wondering how on Earth BLS forwarded your documentation to the consulate without the original Indian passport.
