Keep CA 'registration' alive? What happens if there is a long pause between IPCC and Articleship?

Hi,

I was a IPCC (Old course) student 2 years back, I passed my Group I in Dec 2018 exam and Group II in Dec 2019 exam. I didn't do the 40 days ITT training (I'm from Nepal and coming to India for 40 days training wasn't possible for me at the time). 

So I didn't joined MBA  and yesterday I got an email that my course status in SSP had lapsed and I needed to convert/revalidate. But I am not sure what I should do.. SSP shows the following status:

it still has IPCC/ATC (i guess that's because I haven't joined Final) so I intend to apply for job here and continue CA course in the future (say 5-7 years from now).

So, what should I do to ensure that ICAI doesn't forget that i passed IPCC -- so that in the future, I can join  40 days ITT and then do my 3 years articleship in the future? Should I register as a Final student (even though I haven;t done the ITT?)

I'm scared that ICAI may tell me to register for foundation again 5-7 years later..

Thank you..
