CPL is the license given to those who wish to take up career as a pilot with the commercial airlines whereas PPL is for those who wish to be a pilot as a hobby or for those who own an aircraft.
CPL can be acquired by those who have completed senior secondary examinations and who satisfies an age of 17 years. PPL can be obtained after 10th with minimum of 16 years age.
A person who holds CPL must have obtained PPL earlier whereas PPL can be obtained directly.
Although CPL and PPL are the licenses needed for a pilot; their nature and purpose of use are different in many aspects.
