Is it mandatory to have ATPL. What is type rating?

To get command on aircraft the pilot needs ATPL. It is called Airline Transport Pilot License. It is mandatory for those pilots who are interested in flying as Commander for any flight. For this the mandatory requirement is to at least have a CPL and 1500 hours of flying hours. Some other company requirements also exist depending on the organization you work for. Type Rating is basically the mandatory training which is required for any pilot to do before he/she transits from one aircraft to another. DGCA has drafted Norms for the same. And, TRTOs or ATOs follow these norms when they provide type rating to someone.
