10 July 2024 It seems like your Form 109 (Application for Surrender/ Cancellation of Membership) was rejected by the Regional Office (RO) of ICAI due to not meeting the guidelines laid down by the council. Here’s how you can proceed:

### Understanding the Rejection Reason:
The rejection message indicates that the reason provided (health issue) may not align with the guidelines set forth by ICAI for accepting membership cancellations or surrenders. It's important to understand the specific guidelines and reasons acceptable under ICAI's rules.

### Steps to Address the Issue:

1. **Review ICAI Guidelines:**
- Check the latest guidelines or regulations published by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) regarding the acceptable reasons for surrender or cancellation of membership.
- Ensure that the reason you choose aligns with these guidelines.

2. **Choose a Valid Reason:**
- When opting for "Any Other Reason" for termination, ensure it is a valid reason that falls within ICAI's accepted criteria.
- Common valid reasons include career change, personal reasons affecting practice, relocation, etc.

3. **Consult ICAI or Legal Expert:**
- If unsure about the appropriate reason or if the rejection reason is not clear, consider reaching out to ICAI directly for clarification.
- Alternatively, consulting with a legal expert or advisor who specializes in ICAI matters can provide guidance on the best course of action.

4. **Re-submitting the Application:**
- Amend the application based on the guidelines and the clarification received.
- Clearly state the revised reason for termination in the application.
- Ensure all documentation and forms are filled accurately and completely.

### Recent Guidelines:
ICAI periodically updates its guidelines and regulations regarding membership, terminations, and other related matters. For the most current guidelines, it’s advisable to visit ICAI’s official website or contact their support for specific updates.

### Final Steps:
- **Documentation:** Ensure all required documents are attached and correctly filled out.
- **Submission:** Submit the revised Form 109 along with supporting documents to the Regional Office as per their instructions.
- **Follow-up:** After submission, monitor the progress and be prepared to provide any additional information or clarification as required.

By following these steps and ensuring compliance with ICAI guidelines, you increase the chances of a successful submission of your Form 109 for termination or cancellation of membership.
