Restarting CA after 25 Years

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

If you completed your CA Inter in 1995 and wish to restart your CA Final exams after a significant break, your Inter results may still be valid. You will need to revalidate your registration with the ICAI, which is valid for five years. The revalidation process can be initiated online via the ICAI's Self Service Portal (SSP), after which you can register for the CA Final course. For detailed guidance, contact your regional ICAI office or visit their official website.

30 March 2025 Hi
I completed my CA Inter in 1995. Thereafter I appeared in Final Exams 3-4 till 2003 but could not clear. Since 2003 I got busy with my work and did not appear again for Final Exams. Now, I want to appear for my final Exams again. My queries are:
1. Will my Inter Exams results be considered as valid after almost 30 years?
2. If answer to point no. 1 above is yes, then what is the process of getting myself registered again and appear for Final Exams?

Best Wishes
Nilanjan

30 March 2025 Your CA Intermediate results from 1995 may still be valid, but you will need to revalidate your registration with ICAI (Institute of Chartered Accountants of India). ICAI allows revalidation for CA Intermediate and Final courses, and each revalidation is valid for five years. You need to apply for revalidation of your CA Intermediate registration. This can be done online through ICAI's Self Service Portal (SSP). Once your Intermediate registration is revalidated, you can register for the CA Final course.
If you need further assistance, ICAI’s regional office or their official website can provide detailed guidance. Good Luck....
