Given your situation, here are some key points to consider:
1. **CONFIN Status:** The status "CONFIN valid upto 2027" indicates that your registration under the old Intermediate (PCC) route is still valid until 2027. This means you can continue your CA Final attempts under the old syllabus within this validity period.
2. **Transition to New Syllabus:** Since you completed your CA Inter (PCC) in 2013, you have the option to continue under the old syllabus or transition to the new syllabus. Transitioning to the new syllabus involves certain steps, including potentially clearing additional exams like the Advanced ITT (Information Technology and Soft Skills).
3. **Obtaining Latest Books:** To obtain the latest study materials for the old syllabus (CONFIN), you can: - Check with the local branch of ICAI or their website for availability. - Purchase the books directly from ICAI or authorized distributors. - Look for online resources and study materials that are relevant to the old syllabus.
4. **Advanced ITT Exam:** The Advanced ITT is part of the new syllabus requirements. Since you are currently registered under the old syllabus, you do not need to appear for the Advanced ITT exam unless you decide to transition to the new syllabus. If you remain under the old syllabus, focus on clearing the remaining CA Final exams as per the old syllabus requirements.
5. **Preparation and Guidance:** It would be beneficial to: - Plan your study schedule effectively considering your previous attempts and areas needing focus. - Seek guidance from experienced professionals or mentors who can provide advice tailored to your specific situation. - Stay updated with any changes or notifications from ICAI regarding exam patterns, syllabus updates, and registration requirements.
For detailed guidance and specific queries regarding your registration status and exam preparations, consider reaching out to the nearest ICAI branch or visiting their official website for the most accurate and updated information.
