There is no provision regarding it................................As new provioson regarding the CPE hours has been applicable from 01st Jan 2008 , so if you are the member of ICAI before 2008 then for such period you got relaxation for CPE hours but from 01st Jan 2008 onwards every CA has to bind with the new provions of CPE hours..............You have no option other to complete it................
