Dear Professional colleagues-

I was proprietor of my CA firm established in  2016, later on in 2017 I surrendered my COP to Institute due to taking up corporate assignments in nature of contractual job.

Now I again want to apply for practice and get COP again, my question is

1. Whether firm name applied earlier  in proprietorship status is still valid ?

2. If not what is procedure for re-application of same ?
