I have heard from my friends that the number of attempts to PCC have been made limited to 5, irrespective of attempt made or not. Two friends of mine 'received newsletter regarding this information'. Since neither did I get any such newsletter, nor did I get to see their newsletters as well, I did not believe them. Now, I am very afraid, since it is my 5th attempt (May 2011), and if I don't clear PCC in this attempt, I will not be allowed to appear in any further PCC exams, until I get a new registration, which would cost me Rs. 10000 at current date, or get my course converted to IPCC, which would also cost me substantial amount of money. Please clarify whether this news of 5 attempts of PCC is true or not?

The registration for PCC/PE-II Course will be valid for a period of 5 years from the date of initial registration. Further the registration will continue to be valid as long as the student continues to appear in either or both groups of the PCC exam irrespective of the period involved which may be beyond five years. After expiry of the period of 5 years from the date the student initially registered himself/herself for PCC/PE-II course his registration will lapse except where such student has appeared in at least one of the last two examinations conducted just before the end of five years. The registration of such student shall however lapse in case he subsequently does not appear in two consecutive examinations.
A student whose registration gets lapsed will be eligible for re registration. Such students will be required to re-register himself/herself by paying a nominal revalidation fee of Rs.500/-. Such re-registration will again be valid for a period of 5 years or for the period so long the student continues to appear in the examination regularly whichever is later. After the expiry of 5 years from the date of re-registration the registration will again lapse. . The re- registration shall not lapse if such student has appeared in at least one of the last two examinations conducted just before the end of five years. The registration of such student shall however lapse in case he subsequently does not appear in two consecutive examinations.
Such student will again be eligible to revalidate his/her registration by re-registering himself/herself and paying the aforesaid revalidation fee of Rs.500/-.
There is no time limit for revalidation. The scheme of education in force at the time of revalidation shall be applicable to such students. Exemption(s) for group passed earlier or valid paper-wise exemption(s) would be governed by applicable Regulations at the relevant time. This process of re-registration / revalidation shall continue in the same manner till further amendments. Revalidation can be done at any time before the due date of filling of examination forms.
It may be further clarified that the above scheme shall be subject to the following in respect of PE-II students who have already registered themselves for PE-II are eligible for five attempts and the last such attempt of PE-II exam will be May 2008. But if the student who does not qualify the exam till the scheme of appearing in PE-II is open as above, student may register afresh for PCC by paying the full registration fee of PCC cum Articleship cum ITT at rate applicable at the time of migration to PCC.
Those students who have exhausted all the attempts will have to register afresh by paying full registration fees for PCC cum Articleship cum ITT, i.e., Rs.7,500/- applicable at present.

Thanks for the reply, but this does not solve my query of whether the attempts of PCC are limited to 5 only, and that whether I'll have to pay Rs. 7500 for re-registration, if I am unable to clear PCE in May, 2011.

The information you heard about limiting the number of attempts for the CA PCC (Professional Competence Course) exams to five attempts was based on earlier rules. Here’s a breakdown of the situation regarding attempts and the changes over time:
### **Historical Context:**
- **Old Rules:** Under the old regulations for the CA PCC, there was indeed a limit on the number of attempts a candidate could take. Generally, the limit was around five attempts for each examination.
- **Recent Updates:** The CA PCC course was eventually replaced by the CA IPCC (Integrated Professional Competence Course) in 2012. Candidates who had not cleared the PCC exams before this transition had to switch to the IPCC or follow the new guidelines set by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI).
### **Current Rules:**
- **For PCC Candidates:** If you are still within the PCC framework, it's important to check the latest guidelines from the ICAI. As of the transition period, candidates who were under the PCC system were given specific instructions regarding their registration and attempts.
- **Conversion to IPCC:** After the introduction of the IPCC, PCC candidates were required to transition to the IPCC system. This transition typically involved fulfilling certain conditions and potentially paying a conversion fee.
### **What to Do Now:**
1. **Verify Current Status:** Check the official ICAI website or contact your regional ICAI office to get the most current information about attempts and conversion requirements.
2. **Review Latest Circulars:** Look for any recent ICAI circulars or notices regarding PCC and IPCC transitions. These documents will provide the most accurate and up-to-date information.
3. **Contact ICAI:** If you are unsure or need clarification, contacting ICAI directly will help you understand your specific situation and options available for you.
### **Steps to Follow:**
1. **Check ICAI Notifications:** Regularly visit the ICAI website or contact the local ICAI office for official updates.
2. **Prepare for Conversion:** If needed, prepare for any required conversion to the IPCC or other related actions as per the latest guidelines.
3. **Consider Financial Impact:** Evaluate the cost implications of conversion and plan accordingly.
**Summary:**
While there were limitations on the number of attempts for the PCC exams historically, the transition to the IPCC system has altered the framework. Verify your current status and follow the latest guidelines from ICAI to understand your options and any potential costs.
