CA Final Attempt Eligibility: Articleship Gap Explained

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies CA Final attempt eligibility for a candidate with an 81-day gap during their articleship, which began on 22 Feb 2018. The consensus is that the candidate is eligible for the May 2021 attempt. This is because the requirement to be in the final six months of articleship when applying for exams, coupled with the advance application period, makes the November 2020 attempt ineligible. For definitive confirmation, contacting ICAI directly is recommended.

18 March 2020 I have a query regarding my CA final attempt. I started my articleship on 22 feb 2018. However i took a transfer and resumed my articleship after 81 days ( i.e. re registration was effected after 81 days on paper ). Now i just wanted to confirm that which attempt is due for me whether it is May 2021 or Nov 2020. If i consider Nov 2020 , my articleship ends on 15th May 2021 including my gap of 81 days ( i.e after 30th April 2021 ). Because there is provision regarding attempt eligibilty that if my attempt is in Nov 2020 then my 2.5 years of must have completed till 31st october 2020 and at the same time my articleship should have completed till April 2021. Please guide me in my case, which attempt is due for me.

19 March 2020 May 2021 is your attempt.. When you are applying for exam , you must be serving last 6 months of your tenure.. For any attempt , you must apply for exams atleast 2 months in advance.Considering this you are not eligible for Nov 2020. You can also write an email to ICAI to confirm it..
