The DGCA counts the hours backwards 5 years from the date you apply at the DGCA
It does not matter when your first flight was
On the date of application when you count backwards 5 years you should have 200 hours , 100 PIC etc
If you applied on 7 November 2014 that means they will count from 8 Nov 2009 onwards
So from 8 November 2009 to 7th November 2014 you should have 200 hours and the other flying requirements
There is no doubt that the date of application is the date from which they count backwards as this is clearly given in the INSTRUCTIONS section of the CPL application form
