Question Can you inherit Property in J&K if you hold OCI card

Hi there,
I am in UK for 8 years and will be applying for ILR next week and thinking of getting the British Citizenship in one years time.
I am from Jammu & Kahmir State and my parents and relatives live there.
I understand after British Citizenship and OCI card you can inherit and buy property in India but not in J&K.

To buy property in J&K you have to have a "State Subject" (a document issued to the residents of the state) for any Indian.
What I am not clear is what happens to my state subject after I get a British Pasport?
Would I be able to inherit the property of my parents in Jmammu & Kashmir?

Many thanks for reading this and any information you might have gratefully received>

The J&K State Subject law states that if a J&K State Subject immigrate to another country, his two generations will still hold the J&K State subjects. How true or valid this law is, I am not sure about it

I am also curious about this. There have been many proposed or even temporarily passed amendments to the State Subject rules, and when I searched online I couldn't find any one source of info, just a lot of conflicting new reports. Anybody have a link?
