OCI is life-long indian visa, so you can choose any kind of ticket..it doesn't matter

Yes you can.

Out of interest, are you not worried / bothered about paying higher taxes on your income and having to pay higher fees for the kids (that is if you have any or plan to have any) when you settled in India?

Yes you do. I don't have details but you dont get tax relief that ordinary citizens gets in India. Nationalise banks are also not very liberal when giving out loans (For e.g house loan).

If you have accountant (or know someone) in India then ask him/her for the advise.

Tax rates are same for Indians and NRIs (including OCIs). However banks deduct more % of TDS on your interest earning if you are an NRI(OCI) and declare it.
