I'd registered for CA and was doing my articleship for 1 year, later I discontinued because of family issues (I had to find a job and support my family). The stipend was not enough for that. I wrote to CA Headquarters about my situation and asked them whether they can accept my work experience as articleship for the remaining two years?(I'm working in a Big 4 as a Tax Analyst). Unfortunately ICAI replied it can't be considered. My dream of becoming CA ended there. Now I'm confused whether to pursue CMA or CS? Or is there anyway that I can study CA again without articleship? I can't afford going for articleship again as I'm the only one supporting my family. Could you please guide me on the above?

In cma and cs both, u need to do articleship. In cs u need to complet articleship of 15 months under PCS or a Company. Or 12 months articleship after passing CS. I think there are some exemptions allowed in cma articleship if you have work experience. I am not sure about that.
