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 as on 1st April 2018 for the election to the Council/Regional Council to be held in December 2018.
