Thread: Indian Domainers: How does the process work for dropping domains?

Same Thing but if its too late then why keep it for two weeks before releasing it to public. Or is this two week time given to change info on Whois servers ?

given this 75days ,is it fixed ,i mean not 74 or 76,info is important to drop catch any if available,also is there a backorder facility available for .in and co.in domains?

I don't think there is a backorder for .in domains. Not very sure.

it usually ( supposed to) takes 75 days for the drop ...

Check Policies and scroll down to domain life cycle..

During the first 61 days the domains' status is: PENDING DELETE RESTORABLE
During the last two weeks, their status is: PENDING DELETE SCHEDULED FOR RELEASE

The domains are released at 8 pm UTC / GMT.

In other locations the time is:
1.30 am Mumbai and New Delhi
4 pm U.S. Eastern
1 pm U.S. Pacific

Thanks for this Steve. Is this applicable for all the TLD's(cc/gTLD)?
Cheers

Too late for domainers in India.

Thank You So Much for the insightful post. I really did not know about the lengthy expiration process.
