that might be possible.
but as mentioned by anriduh ,dgca will give what exactly is on your foreign license.
and with IR its a rating not a license.to carry out single commercial still you are private on foreign license ,need to give specific exam.
i spoke with few of CFI , they mentioned skill test can't be carried beforehand meeting other requirements of pic and ir flying. skill test are carried out at end, you first build up pic hours get proficient and carry out tests.
if you haven't flown any hours within last six months , you cant just carry out test.
you have to go through familiarization flights day , night before carrying out test.
carrying out skill test first and pic later abroad might not be accepted by dgca .
