Wrong forum.

From what I remember PIO needs renewal whilst OCI is for life. Overall I think OCI is a better option if you're elligible for it. HCI London website has all the info on it.

PIO - People of Indian Origin

OCI - Overseas Citizen of India

As you are British and your husband is Iranian, they are unlikely to apply to you, except if you are of Indian heritage.
