Renewing Your CA Articleship Post-Year Break: A Comprehensive Guide
Dear Aspirant,
As someone who has taken a year break in your Chartered Accountant (CA) articleship and is now 56, you are likely navigating through some pressing questions and concerns. Firstly, it’s important to understand the current landscape of the CA course and the steps required to resume your journey successfully.
The New IPBB Scheme and Registration
Given that you started your studies under the old intermediate course, it’s crucial to know about the current IPBB (Indian Physical Business and Blockchain) scheme. As you mentioned, the current scheme is at its final stage. Consequently, the upcoming attempt will be the last one for the current curriculum. From the next academic session onwards, a new syllabus will be introduced.
To continue your CA journey, one of the first steps is to convert your old registration into the new course. The good news is that you will receive credits for the work you have already completed. For detailed information and steps, you can visit the Indian Chartered Institute of Accountants (ICAI) website.
Practical Steps to Resume Your Articleship
1. **Complete Articleship:** The Indian Chartered Accountants (ICAIs) require you to fulfill a compulsive three-year articleship as part of your qualification requirements. Ensure that you have completed this period.
2. **Obtain Form 109:** Once your articleship tenure is completed, you need to submit a certification form 109 to the ICAI. This form certifies the duration of your articleship and successfully marks the completion of this crucial step.
3. **Fresh Registration with ICAI Forms 102, 103:** After obtaining the certification, you will need to gather the necessary forms and documentation to register for the next academic session. Forms 102 and 103 are the required ones for this process.
