Also this 30 hrs in 3 years rule was amended in 2010 and after that experience required for renewal was changed to just 30 hrs without any mention of time period. However the launguage of The amendment is very ambiguos and leaves a lot of space for government officers to mess with us, that is why i wanted to know if someone has recently got his licensed renewed and throw some light on the matter. Here is the link new link
http://www.wpc.dot.gov.in/DocFiles/c...list%20COP.doc refer to point 5(b)
"Experience Certificate of 30 Hrs.of flying in an Aero Mobile Station or an experience of not less than three months in a station working in the Aero-Mobile service or renewal by test as per order in force."
Earlier it was specifically mentioned that 30 hrs should be in preceding 3 yrs from date of expiry of licence, removal of those particular words in the amendmend means that its no longer a requirement. However the matter of shame is that even WPC officials are not sure what it means and the best they could come out with was that if i m lucky people at kolkata might renew my licence without looking for 30 hrs in 3 yrs.
