Ipcc direct entry relaxation doubt

hi Saurabh,

My case is same as yours,but I have completed ITT. I intend to join Articleship immediately by 30th sept 2012 and to complete Orientation by 31st march 2012.

I too have doubt regarding starting of Articleship without completing Orientation Programme at the time of joining Artilcleship....However I will complete Orientation Programme in the month of Dec 2012...............

I had sent my queries to the BOS-ICAI 2 days before, but I didnt receive any response from them till now......

Is there anyone who can explain what exactly the 'Relaxation' mean in a simple way?

Please Help us(Saurabh and I)...........we are waiting for your reply.........thanks in advance 

Dear Saurabh a good news for you.............

You can join articleship even though you havent completed ITT and Orientation Programme but will have to complete both before 31st march 2013. And this relaxation is only for those who register or convert to IIPC (Direct entry rule) by 30th sept 2012.

To make you confirm on this matter I have copied and pasted  the text of the mail that I recieved from BOS-ICAI sometimes before, which is as below.........
