So I am bumping this age old question again with some specifics... Is a Post Graduate Diploma in Business Management (PGDBM) from IMT Ghaziabad India equivalent to an MBA to cause my application to be called a second MBA or not? Please help .
I am aiming for Chicago Booth, Rotman, Insead, HEC and Insead Singapore

I think it depends on how you position it on your resume. Do you list the degree as PGDBM on your resume? US b-schools will ask you to find an equivalent...Masters in Business? If you are otherwise a solid candidate for the schools you are interested in....I don't think your PGDBM degree will cause you any problems.
When I applied to Sloan I already had a one-year Master in Innovation Management. Basically it was like a mini-MBA but I don't think the Adcom batted an eye - in any event, it was never brought up to me in my interview.
As my mentor always said, the problems you need to worry about are not the ones you plan on having. The biggest road bumps candidates run up against are having lackluster essays and targeting the wrong MBA programs.

Hi there -
If you are asking in the context of whether you will be disqualified as an applicant (for instance, Duke says no applicant should already have an MBA) then the answer is no. Your PGDM won't be considered as an MBA. However it will be very important to convey why you need an MBA given you already have a post graduate business degree, what extra value this MBA will provide, and how and why is it is relevant for your future.
Good luck!
