Can you please explain what "Counter delivery to BLS centre after OCI stamping" means? I just want to know if at any point we need to take the original passport for some stamping or will we just receive the OCI document directly? (we've opted for courier service, so it should be delivered directly to our home?)

How long it take to get acknowledgment. I submitted my OCI on Sept 21st by walking and Now BLS website shows "Processing at Consulate General"
OCI website shows no record when I track.

Usually 7-8 days. But looks like taking 10-15 now.

Highly improbable. The influx of OCI applications have increased after the visa suspension. Consequently, the processing time of OCI applications will also increase.
