Renunciation and PIO

[jese_1981 1]

My husband is applying for Renunciation and PIO since he became a US citizen. I have the following queries for Renunciation & PIO:

1) In the Renunciation and PIO order forms of CKGS, its asks for passport no. & nationality. I called the application centre helpline, he said that the passport no. in the Renunciation order form has to be entered as the Indian one and for the PIO order Form, passport no. should be entered as the American one. Is this correct? I am still confused

2) Another query is about the Courier fee, prepaid envelope and Airway bill no.? How do I go about this? The application centre helpline guy told me to add the courier fees of $31 ($15.50 Renunciation + $15.50 PIO) to the renunciation order form fees which comes to total of $226 ($195 + $31). The PIO order form fees is $385. So total is $611. Also he told me to go the Fedex to generate the Airway bill no. There is also a courier service/return courier service and reprint courier label mentioned on the website. Do we need to use that also?

3) My husbands Indian passport has the fathers surname spelt wrong as Coelhi instead of Coelho. So in the PIO application form can I correct and enter the fathers name (can give PAN card copy of husband) or should I enter the misspelt name as per the Indian passport?

Anybody who has applied for PIO or OCI card, can you please share your inputs?
