The correct answer is option 4, which is 2003.

The category of `Overseas Citizens of India` was introduced in the Citizenship Act of India through an amendment in the year 2003. This amendment allowed individuals of Indian origin who are citizens of other countries to register themselves as Overseas Citizens of India (OCI). The OCI status provides certain benefits and privileges to overseas Indians, such as the right to live and work in India indefinitely, exemption from registration with the local police station, and parity with non-resident Indians in economic, financial, and educational matters.

Option 1, 1986, is incorrect as the amendment for Overseas Citizens of India was introduced in the year 2003, not in 1986. Option 2, 1992, and option 3, 1996, are also incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct year of the amendment.
