26 July 2011 This is with reference to BOS announcement BoS/Announcement/227/11 dtd. June 23, 2011 with respect to Period of Validation of Registration in Chartered Accountancy Course.

I had registered myself for CA final Course w.e.f. Aug 14, 2006 and have been appearing in Final Examinations since Nov, 2008 WITHOUT ANY LAPSE OR DROPOUT IN ANY ATTEMPT.

As per this notification “Final students who have registered on or before 31st October, 2006 are required to revalidate their registration before applying for November, 2011 Final examination.” - https://220.227.161.86/23150periodannoun2.pdf guidance

However, Bos/Ancmnt/revalidation/227/2008 dtd. June 4, 2008 reads as follows:
“The registration for Final Course will be valid for a period of 5 years from the date of initial registration. Further, THE REGISTRATION WILL CONTINUE TO BE VALID AS LONG AS THE STUDENT CONTINUES TO APPEAR IN EITHER OR BOTH GROUPS OF THE FINAL EXAM IRRESPECTIVE OF THE PERIOD INVOLVED WHICH MAY BE BEYOND FIVE YEARS. After expiry of the period of 5 years from the date the student initially registered himself/herself for Final course his registration will lapse except where such student has appeared in at least one of the last two examinations conducted just before the end of five years. The registration of such student shall however lapse in case he subsequently does not appear in two consecutive examinations.” - https://www.icai.org/post.html?post_id=666

Kindly let me know which notification shall prevail in my case and whether I need to revalidate my registration for the forthcoming Nov, 2011 Examinations.

Thank you

Yours sincerely,
