Hi. 1) i have cleared 1st group in may 2011. i havnt started articleship yet. when will be the last date to submit form 102,103 be so that my final attempt which is may 2014 (2.5yrs articleship completed)  is not shifted to nov 2014.

2) Also what date do they accept as the date of start of articleship - the date of submitting the form, the date of franking by the bank, or the date specified in the form by me as the start of my articleship?

Thanks a lot friends in advance for solving my query?
