I am amazed how come so many of these CPL holders cannot find a piece of regulation which covers their licenses.
If you think something has changed go and verify the Act, The Schedules, he CARs and the circulars.
Its not mandatory upon DGCA to issue a circular. A change in licensing requirment ought to be notified via a Flight Crew LIcensing Circular.
If you can't find a circular, just check the origin of the requirements concerned.
In this case the origin is Schedule II to Aircraft Act 1937, there in General Section you will find if there is any change in the validity of the examinations.

DGCA has updated the rule.
here is the link and the excerpt below
http://http://dgca.nic.in/schedules/section-a.pdf
So flying recency is still 6 months and exam papers validity has incresed from 2.5 years to 5 years starting from the first paper u write and until submission of documents for licence issue for ATPL and CPL but for PPL it remains 2.5 years as before.
my 2 cents worth..........
cheers.
