Clarification regarding passing of ca final group 1

2456 views 5 replies
I have cleared CA final group 1 in 2009. Just wanted to understand if there is any particular time limit for it's validity as it has been quite some time and I am not able to clear the second group. Just worried that if one has passed a group long time ago and not able to clear the other group then it would affect the validity of the already passed group. In simple words - can there be any situation under which I ever need to appear again for the group already passed? Or if one has passed a group he will never be required to appear again for that. ? I have been looking for the answer to this question since long, but have not got proper reply from other students. This question is troubling a lot. I am planning to appear in May 2017. Will be really thankful if anyone can answer this.

No there is no such possibility. You will never have to attempt that group again which you have already passed.

Thank you for replying on this. Although I also have the same understanding but just to be doubly sure do we have something published or written on this on institute's website? Thanks

Bro u have the passing marksheet of group 1 with you .. I think that is the biggest written proof directly from ICAI.. Even if the CA final syllabus changes in future, u would only have to attempt the papers in second group.Just re-register for CA final course as the validity period of 5 years has expired in your case. 

The fact that u have passed Group 1 is valid for the rest of your lifetime now .. 

 

There are things that imply this and I have seen a similar query some where but I do not remember exactly where.Check FAQs in ICAI website or do one thing, ask the question on e-sahayta forum but you must be specific that you want to attempt exam in May 2017 and explain your situation. You will get a more assuring answer. Frame the question properly and you will get desired answer.

you need not appear in the first group eventhough syllabus changes, you have to clear only group 2 to become a CA
