Are you searching for

• How to revalidate your registration?
• Do you know how many times you can write CA Foundation (CPT), CA Intermediate (CA IPCC), and CA Final exams with the initial registration?
• What should you do after your registration expires?
• How much amount of fees you should pay to revalidate your registration?

If you are searching answers for these questions, then you are landed in the right place. Today we are discussing all the queries mentioned above. 

Yesterday, we got a mail from a CA Final student that “ I have written CA Final exams 9 times. But I didn’t pass a single group. May 2018 is my 10th attempt. If I won’t pass in May 2018 attempt, what should I do? How much fees I need to pay to ICAI. Should I pay CA Final registration fees of Rs 10000/- again? Please clarify this.”

If you have also the same doubt in your mind, then don’t worry. You need not pay Rs 10000/- again. To re-validate your registration you need to pay a small amount of Rs 500/- to ICAI.

First, check out that how many times you can write CA Foundation, Intermediate and CA Final exams with initial registration?

• Initial registration for CA Foundation (CPT) is valid for 3 years.
