The revelations are being seen as further proof of discrimination within the system by the British Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (BAPIO).
The group had recently lost its high court legal action claiming overseas doctors, especially from the Indian sub-continent, who wanted to become GPs were being discriminated against.
However, the judge had hailed their "moral victory" as he stressed the need to address differentials in the system.
"We have been fighting against discrimination for years. On the one hand, the government has approached BAPIO to help with recruitment of Indian doctors to plug the shortage in their emergency departments and on the other they refuse to step in when unfair claims are made on their competency," said BAPIO president Dr Ramesh Mehta.
Most recently, Health EducationEngland revealed a programme to recruit at least 50 trainee doctors via video-link interviews from India to tackle shortages in the country's Accident and Emergency (A&E) department.
