that lady is useless, you won't even gain a thing by meeting her personally, I have had a few encounters with her, useless staff of alll I say, also dgca never encourages when someone else asks about your file, other than agents ofcourse. I recommend go and speak to section office other staff people, youwill get hold of someone who remembers handling your file, that's what happened with me.
my friend speedposted the documents to dgca around June 26th, he got.his issued last friday, so pretty much a month.
yes dgca is seriously understaffed and on top.of.that Mr v.p singh is on a month leave, still on enquiry they said he might be off for next month too.
applications submitted after 29th march are said to be still lying in a room.

File Follow UP
How can I trace whats happening with my file? is it open.. is it being processed... is it mentioned somewhere online... do I need to add some additional document?
How does one follow up with DGCA about their CPL status?

is it this one OnlineStatus ?
After filling it out it says nothing

Does that mean they haven't started processing or haven't received it?

it means they haven't started processing your file yet.. and if you sent your documents by speed post why don't you look up the status of the speed post.. that way you can make sure that your documents have been delivered

100 hrs PIC or 100 hrs Solo?
In my research, I have found that the DGCA does not adhere to its own regulations regarding PIC time as per Aircraft Rule 1937 - 67A subpart (6) which clearly states that
"Flight time spent in performing, under supervision of a pilot-in-command, the duties and functions of a pilot-in-command may be logged as pilot-in-command provided the person is entitled and authorized to fly in command of that type of aeroplane by virtue of the ratings and privileges of his pilot’s license".
The DGCA seems to ask for 100 hours of Solo time as per the "APPLICATION FOR THE ISSUE/ CONVERSION OF COMMERCIAL PILOT’S LICENCE (AEROPLANE) with INSTRUMENT RATING / without INSTRUMENT RATING" in item number 12, however in Flight Crew Licensing Circular 1 of 2012 "FCL_1_2012", there is no mention of 100 hours solo time being a requirement for conversion of a foreign license to an Indian one.
Anyone care to comment? Any suggestions? Anyone tried to fight this?

The irony is that if you want to apply for a CFI rating, you should have atleast 1000 Hrs SOLO time. After a long career in which i have close to 16000 odd hours i am sure even i am nowhere close to having 1000 hours as SOLO time. Who on earth and why will fly for 1000 hours solo???? I have tried hard but no avail.. Please do try to bring this issue to the higher officials!!
