Required certificate of practice

Hello to all experts

Dear experts

It was almost two months ago, I have resigned from a company based in Mumbai, in which I was working as Senior Accounts Executive. Since then I am not working anywhere. Now I am thinking to open my own C.A. Office. So I want your suggestions how can I proceed for such initiation.

Also note that presently I am member in CIRC, and want to switch to WIRC, so I also want the procedure of switch over.

In short following details required from all experts

1- Form No. for which application to be made for COP.

2- Is approval for firm name is also required or COP is enough ?

Kindly guide me in very expert manner.

Thanks in advance

Amit Kumar Pandey

1. A member can apply in Form-6 for grant of CoP.
.
2. A member holding CoP, can practice in his own name. He may/may not apply for a firm name.
.
[But it is preferable to register a firm name even if a member is practicing as a proprietor. Because in future, if you add a member as a partner, then you can retain the seniority (i.e. date of establishment) of your practice with the same firm name for partnership also.]
