ANNOUNCEMENT
SCHEME FOR RETROSPECTIVE RESTORATION OF MEMBERSHIP
With a view to mitigate the hardships being faced by members whose names stand removed
as on date due to non-payment of membership fee, the Council in its 374th meeting held in
March 2018 has decided to give an opportunity by way of Scheme for restoration of their
names retrospectively. By availing the scheme, the members will get benefit of the seniority
of membership which will be reckoned for the purpose of eligibility to fellow membership.
Continuation of membership entitles a member to designate himself as ,,CA and also other
benefits like monthly Journal of the Institute , Newsletters of Regional Councils & Branches
of the Institute, participation in the conferences, seminars and other programmes organized
by the Institute, Regional Council and/or Branch; regular update on programs being
organized and initiatives taken for the benefit of the profession and members; emerging
professional opportunities, practice area development, publications of the Institute etc.
Further, there are new emerging professions such as Insolvency Profession for which
membership of the Professional Institute is a mandatory condition.
This is an excellent opportunity to get name restored with retrospective effect. The benefit
of the scheme may be availed by submitting the prescribed application in Form 9 on or
before 31st March, 2018 in order to be eligible for inclusion of name in the List of Voters
