No, you cannot become a commercial pilot without having CPL (Commercial Pilot License) but for Indian Airforce there is no requirement of CPL. The eligibility required for IAF pilot are mentioned below.
There are many ways get into IAF some of them are NDA, CDS, AFCAT, NCC Special entry.

NDA (National Defence Academy) exam is conducted for the candidates who have completed their 10+2 education. After qualifying in this exam then you'll be given 3 years training.

CDSE (Combined Defence Service Exam) is conducted for the graduation candidates. The eligibility required to apply for the CDSE is unmarried male Indian. The educational qualification should be BE/ B.Tech in maths/ science stream from any recognised university. The age limit 19-23 years in airforce, there is age relaxation based on the government rules.

NCC (National Cadet Corps) Special entry in flying department, the eligibility required is the candidate should have NCC C certificate. Only male candidates are eligible to apply through this quota.

AFCAT (AirForce Common Admission Test) is another entrance exam through which you can get into the flying department. The eligibility required is unmarried male and female candidates can apply. The educational qualification is 10+2 or equivalent education from any recognised board.

For commercial pilot you need to complete your 10+2/ graduation in any stream from any recognised board/ university. You need to take training/ diploma course/ certification course in aviation or in flying course. After completing training you need attend the test for getting license, if you qualify in the exam you'll get CPL. Based on your license you'll be appointed by the different airline companies.
