@ VF:
The DGCA requirements specifically ask for an indian passport when submitting papers to issue license. I will look up the doc that deals with this specific clause.
@ Nik:
I might be wrong.. no guarantees but I do remember a friend of mine who is a British national mentioning he will be getting his Indian passport a few years back along with his Uk passport since in 200/2004 Indian govt passed a bill to allow "Indians origin persons" to have dual nationality
Qoute:
At last, nearly one year after the Indian Parliament passed the Dual
Nationality law, there is good news for Indians in America, much of
Europe and other places - the Indian Dual Citizenship (Dual
Nationality) regulations from the Citizenship (Amendment) Act 2003 are
now effective.
The Ministry of Home Affairs confirms this if you contact them in New
Delhi. They told a desi friend of mine that the first date on which
applications are accepted was September 20 2004.
Unqoute
this being said, I might be wrong. never know with the rules central govt comes up with as a kneejerk reaction...
@mercy320:
A long shot in the dark, have you tried meeting the DGCA during the open house?? the DG is a fair guy
if you can get a meeting with him, they might be able to help you...
