OCI were "Overseas Citizens of India" when Government of India needed their money for investments in the country. Now all foreign citizens have been allowed to directly invest also in the stock exchanges. Now that investments by OCIs is no more needed therefore their status can be changed to “Overseas Indian Cardholder”.

Whatever that needs to be written to the Standing Committee has to be written in a logical manner with proper legal points. Had read somewhere that there are organizations of NRIs/OCIs/PIOs to lobby for their cause. Maybe writing to them also may help.
