You need not worry. The form can be submitted by you after paying the delay fees. If the delay is less than 6 months, the condonation fees would be Rs. 300. If more than that, Rs. 1,000/-. The Form should be sent with the condonation fees as DD drawn in favour of the Secretary, ICAI Regional Office, A letter of condonation from you and your principal.
Please don't worry. It is a simple procedure only. I will not invalidate your results and all.
