My interpretation too is based on the reference to "person" rather than "citizen" in the law text. I believe OCI can definitely apply for the information.

Just in case- there is another thing in RTI law-that is- no person seeking information under RTI could be prosecuted in the court of law unless it is proven that the intention is malicious. So one can definitely seek information without any worries about being on the wrong side of the law.
