Hello everyone,
I have completed my articleship in 1999 but my principal gave me the 108 with excess leave of 68 days.
Afterthat I have attempted Final (1st group) twice in 2000 Nov & 2002 May.
Now I want to appear in May 2007, but when I saw the application form, I'm confused with the eligibility criteria. It says that either:
condn. a - I have to have completed 3 years including excess leave
condn. b - I should be serving under an auditor for the remaining period (excess leave) and should have got the signature from the Auditor.
At the same time there is a warning message in teh appln. form that itis better for the students to re-register for the remaining period before 30th Apr 07.
I'm currently staying in UAE and I've planned to take up my excess leave articles when I go to India this July'07.
also the exam fees is very high (300 US$), hence I do not want to take a risk of sending in the application form.
Please advice as to what I can do now, whether I'm eligible to sit for the exam and submit the re-registration later.
Thanks, Jaya
Hi,
Welcome seems we are on the same page.
Good News for you is you are eligible for CA Final May examination.
Here is how it works.
If you can recall the old rules allowed us to appear for CA Final duting the final 6 months of traning. So going by your excess number of leaves you are eligible to apply as you have already finished 2.5 years of Articleship.
There is an option on the form whereby a CA has to complete the training by a particular date. Get the attested from a CA and submit the form.
Then , Here is what you need to do :
a )Re- reregister with any CA with a new form 102/103. For the remaining period of traning.
Or
b) If you know a CA ask him to register a DEED with back date and submit the same with fine which i believe is nearly INR 1000.
I had an excessleave for 39 days as wellhaving completed articleship way back in 2001. I shall be appearing for CA Final May 07 as well after a gap of nearly 5 years. I have got a CA to register a new deed for 39 days.
Drop me a msg if you need any further information.
Cheers,
Gaurav
