Period of Validation of Registration of CA Students
The Council considered the recommendations of the Executive Committee made at its 472nd meeting held on 21st March, 2008 on the proposal/suggestion of the Board of Studies for discontinuing the registration and introduction of a scheme of revalidation of registration of the CA students and decided as under so that name of students who are not pursuing the course after getting registered be stuck off the records:-
III. PCC & PE-II: The registration for PCC/PE-II Course will be valid for a period of 5 years from the date of initial registration. Further the registration will continue to be valid as long as the student continues to appear in either or both groups of the PCC exam irrespective of the period involved which may be beyond five years. After expiry of the period of 5 years from the date the student initially registered himself/herself for PCC/PE-II course his registration will lapse except where such student has appeared in at least one of the last two examinations conducted just before the end of five years. The registration of such student shall however lapse in case he subsequently does not appear in two consecutive examinations.
A student whose registration gets lapsed will be eligible for re registration. Such students will be required to re-register himself/herself by paying a nominal revalidation fee of Rs.500/-. Such re-registration will again be valid for a period of 5 years or for the period so long the student continues to appear in the examination regularly whichever is later. After the expiry of 5 years from the date of re-registration the registration will again lapse. . The re- registration shall not lapse if such student has appeared in at least one of the last two examinations conducted just before the end of five years. The registration of such student shall however lapse in case he subsequently does not appear in two consecutive examinations.
Such student will again be eligible to revalidate his/her registration by re-registering himself/herself and paying the aforesaid revalidation fee of Rs.500/-.
There is no time limit for revalidation. The scheme of education in force at the time of revalidation shall be applicable to such students. Exemption(s) for group passed earlier or valid paper-wise exemption(s) would be governed by applicable Regulations at the relevant time. This process of re-registration / revalidation shall continue in the same manner till further amendments. Revalidation can be done at any time before the due date of filling of examination forms.
Thus in nutshell as far as my knowledge is concened after reading this notification,registration for pcc student is valid for 5 Yrs from the date of initial registration.
