Folks,
I submitted my licence almost a month ago. Can anyone please tell me whether the 'Online Query for issue of Licence' is accessible? I filled in all the information, but I'm not able to enter the Application Date. Is there something wrong with the system or am I supposed to make a query only after a month or so?

@smurf84 - If the application date is not showing, it means your application still has not reached the processing stage. Your file must be lying in some pile in the DGCA office. The date will show only once they open your file and begin some work on your CPL.
Till then - maybe you should take a vacation or something
It might be a long wait! For me the date was only visible some 3.5 months after submission

Is the 20 day endorsement available only after proper care of DGCA officials or just the normal required days? 
Because last time I heard from a friend, it took him almost 3 months to get an ATR endorsed.

Licence issue
Hello guys,
My Licence was submitted to DGCA for processing into Dgca way back in March. On I received a reply back from them that my Duchess cannot be issued to me because to a CofA issue which all of us know.
The DGCA granted me the FRTO and verbally said that give an application for an multi (eg Seneca) Specific paper and after passing i could request the DGCA to reduce the number of hours to be flown on the Seneca from 10 to 6.5 because of my previous experience on the Duchess. And i have to fly in India.
The problem with that is i cannot write the July attempt cause they need the ground school cert. which i cannot get. So by the time i write the next exam and get the result, it would be December. And i hit recency and have to fly all my 172 hrs again.
So please help me in understanding on how to get NOC from DGCA so that i can go back to my flying club and fly my 172 as well as the Seneca legally and come back with all the requirements within a month.
Thanks
regards

If I were you I would go to the DGCA and ask them to explain how these people were issued licenses on the BE76
Go and see the Director General E K Bharat Bhushan if you have no other option left

Thanks Cyrilroy,
well i met the DG regarding this and i quoted him a few licence numbers. The reaction was something i expected on these lines "Are you here to talk about your licence application or Mr. X`s? "
now i am done with this idiotic stuff i do not live in delhi and its really difficult for me to flight it out with them.
Now all i am interested in is getting an NOC for completing those hours and getting the licence.
The problem with that is that they want me to fly in india which will take me next Jan/Feb to complete. Whereas i can do back and fly the requirements and come back within a month.

If you dont hold an Indian license then there is no need for an NOC and they wont issue you one since you dont hold an Indian license
he problem with that is that they want me to fly in india which will take me next Jan/Feb to complete.
I have a feeling that this is a sign of more worse things to come like requiring those who convert their license to write the technical general and technical specific paper

It is strange that some licence holders who applied in February 2011 got their licences issued in July 2011 and a couple of them who applied in May 2011 got theirs in July 2011 too. Is there any favoritism shown here?

Jet Blast 007,- Whats the website status, under process yet?

@Cyrilroy
Yes they want me to fly in india because Mr Bharadwaj said to me personally that "Theres going to be a CAR stating that the recency flying has to be done in india - this is gonna be published within 7 day within 3 months, he doesnt know !" so he suggested that do the flying in India and hence he issued only an FRTO to me !
and hence i wanted a NOC from the DGCA for flying abroad!

Weird! The Director of Air Space and Air Traffic Management tells you the CAR concerning recency could change anytime now? Wonder what bull he knows about all this.
I really don't get it. When I submitted my licence for conversion last month, the Dy Director of Licensing told me that the BE76 endorsement will be issued for the time being. Dushrox says he was denied one recently! Goodness gracious me.

Mr. Bhardwaj was previously incharge for pilot licensing .
He still holds some kind of power when it comes to issuing pilot licenses
My friend was there when he ordered Ashutosh Vashisht to issue the pilot license of an Air India cadet .
This inspite of being in another department
So yes he does weild some power within the licensing department
RECENCY ONLY IN INDIA
Thats like my worst nightmare come true
The only people who are going to benefit from this rule are the flying schools in India with their exorbitant rates

No I wasnt aware of the issue untill Dushrox mentioned it
But I did hear rumors about getting the skill checks done in India itself and also asking those who convert to clear the technical general and specific papers
All this is nothing but a knee jerk reaction to the fake pilot license scam

@Dushrox
First of all the rule hasnt yet some into play
For flying the new aircraft you need atleast 10 hours on type . This 10 hours on type is not a recency requirement within 6 months and hence can be safely done in a foreign country .
You can do the skill check in India though .
I would suggest you go back and fly the 10 hours and do the skill checks there it self as this rule has not yet come into play
I dont think the DGCA will issue an NOC , as NOC is only for those people who already hold an Indian DGCA license
One thing I learnt about the DGCA is never believe anything they say untill you get it in writing
