Maslama, you misread and misunderstood my post. I am not suggesting that that there was forgery or even lies. What I was trying to show is that a junior pilot or student pilot can obtain a DGCA Multi-Engine pilot license and an Instrument Rating without actually studying for it, without taking an instrument written test (given by the administrator) and, without having to take and pass any check rides by the administrator or its designated. NB, in this case there was no foreign license conversion, as there was no [M-E, Instrument] foreign license to convert from in the first place (only a foreign instructor, overseas, filling ad hoc DGCA forms). The pilot already had a Single Engine, commercial license (obtained and converted a year or two earlier). In my opinion, junior pilots and student pilots here are at a disadvantage because they are not given proper training. Unless they are willing to earn and obtain a full foreign pilot license. Some do.
