1. No you cannot postpone. you need to complete the 20 structured hours in next 11 days as the block of 2 years is ending on 31 December 2013.
2. If you wish to postpone to the next calender year, the penalties are bit strict:
a) your name shall be hosted on ICAI website as defaulter
b)you shall have to do twice the amount of hours in next year plus the regular hours for next year ie somewhere around 60 hours in the next year, to get your name removed from the list
There are many seminars being hosted by NIRC. try and attend atleast as much as possible. this shall help in reduction in double penalty hours!!
