Dear All I am the Student of CA Final. I already cleared my 1st Group long time back. My CA Final course has been lapsed due to more than 5 years has been completed. Now I want to give my CA final Exam held in May, 2022.
I just want to know that while filling the exam form (a) first I have to Re-validate our CA couse so that course will convert from laped to active (it may take some time ,but exam filling date is 20th March only) OR (b) can I apply Re-validation process after filling of Exam form. (in that case Exam form is asking for Course Revalidation date,which is already expired).
Note: What is the last date to apply Re-validation of our course for applying in May, 2022.
Given your situation where your CA Final course has lapsed due to more than 5 years having passed since you cleared your 1st Group, here’s how you can proceed with submitting your exam form for May 2022:
1. **Re-validation Process:** - You need to re-validate your CA Final course to convert it from lapsed to active status. This process typically involves submitting an application and paying the requisite fees to the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). - The re-validation process can take some time, and the exact timeline may vary. However, you must initiate this process as soon as possible to ensure your course is active before the exam form submission deadline.
2. **Exam Form Submission:** - The exam form for May 2022 requires you to provide the date of re-validation of your course. Since your course is currently lapsed, you cannot provide an expired re-validation date. - Therefore, you should start the re-validation process immediately. Even if the re-validation process is pending by the exam form submission deadline (20th March), you should still proceed to fill out the exam form. - In the exam form, you can mention the expected date or approximate timeline when you expect your course re-validation to be completed. Ensure that you keep track of any updates from ICAI regarding your re-validation status.
3. **Last Date for Re-validation:** - The last date for re-validation of your CA Final course for the May 2022 exams is crucial. While the exact deadline can vary, it is typically recommended to complete re-validation well before the exam form submission deadline to avoid any issues. - Contact ICAI or check their official notifications for the specific last date for re-validation applicable to your situation.
4. **Next Steps:** - Start the re-validation process immediately by contacting ICAI or visiting their official website for instructions and the necessary forms. - Fill out your exam form for May 2022, ensuring you provide accurate information regarding your re-validation status. - Keep a close watch on communications from ICAI regarding your re-validation application to ensure it progresses smoothly.
By following these steps and ensuring timely action on both re-validation and exam form submission, you can successfully navigate the process and appear for the CA Final exams in May 2022. Good luck with your preparations!
