I believe this should be ok, assuming the card is processed and delivered on time.

sending passport across border is not necessarily illegal - some countries may not allow it but there is nothing universal. moreover PIO is not a passport or travel document. it has no use on its own unless accompanied by correct passport.

I actually found out that PIO can be applied in dubai as well!
CGI website states that person needs a dubai residence permit..
However, Embassey in Abudhabi hasnt got anything like that..

So instead of applying in UK and taking risk of post.. its better to apply PiO in dubai itself and then move on to India..
