There is no such thing as an NSG waiver. You are either an NSG member or you are not. What the hell is an in-between (Mr. arre, im not member but I have been waived off only) ?
Honestly, two minutes on Google would shown you the absurdity of your statement.
FYI, the NSG waiver enabled NSG members to engage in nuclear trade with India (subject to IAEA safeguards). It was not signed with India.
The text of the NSG waiver:
Nuclear Suppliers Group’s Statement on Civil Nuclear Cooperation with India
1. At the Extraordinary Plenary Meeting meeting on 6 September 2008 the Participating Governments of the Nuclear Suppliers Group decided that they:

c. Wish to pursue mechanisms to affect positively the nonproliferation commitments and actions of all states;
d. Seek to promote fundamental principles of safeguards and export controls for nuclear transfers for peaceful purposes; and
e. Note the energy needs of India.
2. Participating Governments have taken note of steps that India has voluntarily taken with respect to the following commitments and actions:
a. Deciding to separate civilian nuclear facilities in a phased manner and to file a declaration regarding its civilian nuclear facilities with the IAEA, in accordance with its Separation Plan (circulated as INFCIRC/731);
b. Concluding negotiations with the IAEA and obtaining approval by the Board of Governors on 1 August 2008 for an “Agreement between the Government of India and the IAEA for the Application of Safeguards to Civilian Nuclear Facilities,” in accordance with IAEA standards, principles, and practices (including IAEA Board of Governors Document GOV/1621);

Based on the commitments and actions mentioned above, as reiterated by India on September 5, 2008, and without prejudice to national positions thereon, Participating Governments have adopted and will implement the following policy on civil nuclear cooperation by Participating Governments with the IAEA-safeguarded Indian civil nuclear program:
a. Notwithstanding paragraphs 4(a), 4(b) and 4(c) of INFCIRC/254/Rev.9/Part 1, Participating Governments may transfer trigger list items and/or related technology to India for peaceful purposes and for use in IAEA safeguarded civil nuclear facilities, provided that the transfer satisfies all other provisions of INFCIRC/254/Part 1, as revised, and provided that transfers of sensitive exports remain subject to paragraphs 6 and 7 of the Guidelines.
b. Notwithstanding paragraphs 4(a) and 4(b) of INFCIRC/254/Rev.7/Part 2, Participating Governments may transfer nuclear-related dual-use equipment, materials, software, and related technology to India for peaceful purposes and for use in IAEA safeguarded civil nuclear facilities, provided that the transfer satisfies all other provisions of INFCIRC/254/Part 2, as revised.
