I have registered as an articled assistant in hyderbad in the last JULY and it is post May 2012. Hence I have to complete my GMCS-1. The problem is my office people are not allowing me to attend now, they are asking me to complete it during october - november 2013 that is post One year of my articles.... Will there be any penalty for not completing GMCS-1 within the first year of the articleship ??? I could not find any where regarding the same..... Please do help me !

You have to complete your gmcs 1 in first year of articleship. It is mandatory by ICAI and also a part of articleship so your office staff should not have any objection in this regard. If you do not complete your gmcs-1 then you have to take residential classes of three months after completion of your articleship which in my view is waste of time.I also had same problem but i insist my CA and he allowed me.so its better you ask your office people again and explain them about the whole thing...

Dear Sriharsha............

The Institute has not descrined any rule for not comply GMCS in time. It only specified the eligibilty and training of GMCS, but not consequences. Most of the Institute have face the same problems.

For more, go to the following link:

Dear Vishal................

GMCS ELIGIBILITY
