CA FINAL ELIGIBLE

Hey Charan! Here’s a quick breakdown for your CA Final Nov 2021 eligibility based on your articles completion:

1. CA Final Eligibility generally requires completion of 3 years of articleship OR completing it by the exam date.

2. You said your articles started on 22 Feb 2019 (stamp deed date) but were registered on 16 Apr 2019 (online date).

3. Your articles complete on 13 May 2022 (as per SSP portal).

4. For Nov 2021 exams, your articles completion date (13 May 2022) is after the exam date.

5. Hence, you are NOT eligible to appear in Nov 2021 CA Final exams because articleship must be completed before or on the exam date.

6. The stamp deed date (22 Feb 2019) is the effective start, but the ICAI considers the date of registration for eligibility, which is 16 Apr 2019.

7. Since you completed 3 years only in May 2022, you can appear for exams from May 2022 onward.

What you can do:

• Prepare for the May 2022 CA Final exams.

• Keep your documentation ready in case ICAI requests proof of articleship dates.

• For any confusion, contact ICAI helpline or your regional office to get a formal confirmation.
