Not done it personally but you probably need OCI Misc Services: Go to http://www.vfsglobal.com/India/UK/OCI.html and click on OCI Misc Services.

A. Transfer of OCI from expired Passport to new Passport or change in Nationality:

Applicants are required to fill miscellaneous application form online for transfer of OCI Visa from old passport to new passport and have to submit the printed application along with copy of old and new passport and copy of OCI booklet.

Hi , I know you have to use the OCI Misc Services but what I want to know is that do the current oci booklets with the old British passport need to be canceld first before I apply for new oci booklets with new passport number. !

Yes it does, When you get a new British Passport , your OCI on the previous passport will be cancelled. You would need to reapply for OCI which would cost around £60
