Rafale will probably be operational and in numbers too in 2021. MKIs are being built moreand UPGs are being imported more. Tejas are being built more. PAF will certainly be short of Capable Fighters
Says who?
India has a territory of 3.2 million sq km to cover with only 700 combat aircraft.
Pakistan has a territory of 800,000 sq km to cover with 500 combat aircraft.
India has 22 combat aircraft for every 100,000 sq km.
Pakistan has 63 combat aircraft for every 100,000 sq km.
What makes you think the Indian Air Force can take on Pakistan Air Force? Do you seriously think India can afford to deploy 500 combat aircraft on Pakistani border?
Pakistan being a thinner country can definitely afford to deploy majority of its fleet on the Indian border and the world saw a demonstration of this capability on 27th February 2019.
