Query regarding delay in registration of ca final

Hi Shraddha,

Thanks for clearly explaining your situation — this kind of query is common when transitioning between CA course schemes, especially after delays due to genuine reasons like medical emergencies.

Let’s go through the issue and solution step-by-step.

🔍 Your Situation Summary:

• You cleared both groups of IPCC (Group 2 in May 2019).

• Your articleship ended in Feb 2019.

• You were under the Old Scheme of CA course.

• You did not register for CA Final in time after clearing IPCC.

• Now, your IPCC status is showing as "lapsed" on the SSP portal.

• You want to appear for Final Exam in Nov 2021, but are unsure of the process.

⚠️ Important Point:

The Old Scheme of CA course was discontinued by ICAI, and all students were automatically transitioned to the New Scheme (as per ICAI notification in 2020).
Now, only the New Scheme (or Revised/New Education and Training Scheme - NExT) is applicable.

✅ What You Need to Do:

1️⃣ Revalidate Your IPCC Registration (if required):

Since there's a long gap since your IPCC pass (last group cleared in 2019), your registration may have lapsed due to the validity period (usually 4 years).

Even though you passed both groups, ICAI might require you to revalidate your intermediate qualification before you can proceed.

You can do this on the ICAI SSP Portal under Student Services → Revalidation.

2️⃣ Register for CA Final (New Scheme):

After revalidation, you must register fresh for the CA Final under the New Scheme (2024 scheme or current).

To do this:

• Log in to SSP Portal → Student Cycle

• Choose “Final Course Registration”

• Fill in the required details

• Upload necessary documents (IPCC mark sheet, articleship completion letter, photo, signature, etc.)

• Pay the registration fee

3️⃣ Wait for Confirmation of Final Registration:

Once your registration is processed and approved, you’ll receive an acknowledgment.

Only after this can you apply for the CA Final exam (e.g., Nov 2021 session) — but since Nov 2021 has passed, this is more relevant for future attempts (unless you had submitted your query back in 2021 and are now seeking retrospective clarity).

4️⃣ In Case You Missed Nov 2021 Attempt:

If you were not registered in time for the Nov 2021 attempt, unfortunately, you would not have been eligible to appear.

However, you can still proceed with registration now and appear in upcoming attempts under the current syllabus.

✅ Summary:

📩 Need Help?

If you're still facing SSP portal issues (like lapsed status), it’s best to:

• Raise a grievance on ICAI’s e-Sahaayataa portal

• Or write to: final_registration @ icai.in or ssp.support @ icai.in

Attach your:
