What about those who acquired citizenship few years before. Do they have to pay the fee also?
If someone has broken all ties with India and will never need to ever visit India again, then they could perhaps skip this fee.
They cannot force such people to get the "surrender" certificate.

Where did you get this information from? Do you have any link to back this up?

My passport was cancelled the time I got Indian visa for the first time after acquiring foreign citizenship. Do I have to return the already cancelled passport and get surrender certificate. In such circumstances, will they charge fee?

What the poster meant was, an OCI holder under 21 and 50 and above need to have the OCI visa sticker on the most recent valid passport. This OCI sticker will state the new passport number and such. This info is stated on the consulate websites. For those between 21 and 50, they have the option (not mandatory) of obtaining a new OCI sticker everytime a new passport (renewal) is obtained.
Thank you. It is strange that the rules on the website are not consistent (depend on the consulate). The SFO consulate website does not state this rule.

thanks, it is a well known fact that if you got your OCI between the ages of 20 and 50, you need to transfer it to your new passport After the completion of 50 years of age.
For the poster who wants the OFFICIAL link to back up what I said, here it is:
