I know you are asking for DGCA purposes, but have to do this flight either in USA or canada or somehwhere outside India otherwise you indian intructor would know the answer.
So as far as I can remember, you can do both in the same flight & a lot more actually....... Here's how...
File a 3 hrs X/C, File IFR, at night to an airport more than 100 NM away, (Remember DGCA needs 100 NM x/c); go under hood after take off. log 2.5 or 2.6 of simulated Instrument & 3 hrs in X/C section. You can do the intercepting radials & tracking VOR, do a hold on a radial, shoot approach with a full stop taxi back or STOP & GO at your destination.
On the return leg, land at an intermediate point, shoot approach, full stop landing & then come back to point of departure or where you want to be.
That way this flight will count towards your "6 6 HIT" & night currency 3 landings PIC.
If you get lucky, drive through some clouds & log actual...
DGCA doesn't care, simulated or actual, they just want instrument time for recency.
