    sir,

    i have one query..

    i have only passed 1st group of PCC and have not cleared any paper in 2nd group. So i will have to convert now to IPC and and will have to write 3 papers.

    My query is when we fill and give the conversion form, how long it will take to complete the conversion because the last date for applying for may 2013 exam without paying fine is on 27th feb, 2013

    kindly reply to this query as soon as possible.

    1. Admin

      You can fill and give conversion form at any time from now. Do it at the earliest. Conversion process will be faster as the time gap is short for exam form filling.
      When you apply for conversion then how long it took, please share your experience with us.. it will be useful to our readers.
      Thanks.

      1. Dhanesh

        yes sir. i will give the conversion form tomorrow itself. and i will share the experience as to how long it took for conversion.

        one more query. I will be able to apply for examination only after getting converted to IPC na? means, i cannot apply for examination now if i just given the conversion form, right?

        and thank you for the super fast reply.

  2. saikumar

    hi sir

    I was completed group 1 of Pcc but
    2nd group of Pcc was not passed in Nov 12 also

    my doubt is now i have to convert to ipc and i have to write under unit scheme. right ?

    but what is the passing criteria ? what it the difference between unit 4 , 6 and unit 8.

    should i get aggregate in unit 4 separately and unit 6 separately. or just single aggregate in unit 8.

    another doubt also

    what is this

    “candidates
    are required to appear and pass in one sitting as a unit candidate in ipc.”

    pls tell me clearly sir.

    1. Admin

      Yes you will have to appear for IPC under UNIT scheme. You should appear for UNIT 8 to clear IPC. If you appear for UNIT 4 then you’ll be declared as cleared group I of IPC. Same as in UNIT 6. So, appear for UNIT 8.
      You need to clear UNIT 8 in one sitting. Like it was in PCC, i.e. you need to pass whole group to clear exam.

      Don’t worry more about it. Just prepare for May 2013 thoroughly and Just CRACK IT. Best of luck.

  3. saikumar

    first of all

    thank you for your immediate response sir.

    that means

    1.about writing unit 8 under ipc is same as it is writing group 2 in Pcc exam,

    for each subject not less than 40 marks and total should be not less than 150 marks is requirement to pass unit 8 ?

    2.and also tax paper is 50marks for Dt and 50marks is for service tax and vat

    Right sir ?

    thank you for your valuable suggestions sir.

  5. Dhanesh

    sir,

    i have given the conversion form to the institute. I had asked them the query regarding when to apply for examination for which they replied that it will be better to apply for examination at least after 4-5 days after giving the conversion form. They also said, it will be better NOT to apply online this time because, first ICAI should get our conversion form and only after that we should give the exam forms. So if i gave the conversion form today, they will send it soon enough to ICAI HQ to get it processed and after 4-5 days give the exam form(manual one) to the institute.. so by that time, our registration process will take place.

    I hope this information is helpful.

  7. Sweta

    Sir,
    Can we fill the examination form online after submiiting conversion form ? and also if so then is there any details to be filed up about the conversion in that examination form because when i asked about the registration number it remains the same.

  8. Shekhar

    1. Admin

      The 500Rs amount should be paid by way of Demand Draft drawn in favour of “The Secretary,The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India” payable at Mumbai/ Chennai / Kotkata / Kanpur/ New Delhi [as the case may be].

  9. Rupam

  11. saikumar

    hi sir

    i was registered for Pcc on Feb 2009 my article ship was completed on august 2012

    group 1 of Pcc cleared

    but second group still not cleared

    for appearing may 2013 i had applied for conversion from Pcc to ipc also

    but my doubt is institute notified a notification dated on 7.2.13

    i.e Re validation of registration for various levels
    of CA

    is it applies to me ?

    what are the other requirements which i have to fulfill for appearing may 13 exams unit 8 of ipc
    other than
    CONVERSION AND SUBMITTING EXAM FORM

    pls explain clearly sir.

    1. Admin

      I read it but it confused me. Please contact your nearest ICAI branch and then please share it with us.
      Thanks.
      BTW as stated in that notification Its for IPCC students.. But if you want to be at safe side then you should give that form to ICAI without paying revalidation fees.
      But I will suggest you to contact ICAI.

  12. Vishal

    Hi Sir,

    Thanks for quick response, i have one more doubt regarding filling of examination form as my 3.5 years of articleship is completed do i need to take signature of CA on the examination form under which i had taken articleship or i can submit the form with the signature of gazetted officer.

    Thanks
    Vishal

  14. Yogesh

    Hi Sir,

    Actually I have a doubt regarding re-validation to IPC. I have submitted the conversion form of PCC to IPC on 8/2/13. I have registered for PCC on 10/12/07 and so my four years have expired. So Do I need to still fill in the re-validation form for IPC as I have already submitted the conversion form on 08/02/13 ??

  18. Deepika

    I was a student of PCC and passed/cleared my Group 2 exam in 2011. I have converted to IPC on 11 Feb 2013. In my past two attempts I was getting exemption for Group-2.

    For my next attempt, I will be appearing in Unit Scheme Intermediate (Unit 9). As part of this scheme I will get paper exemption for group 2 subjects. Since, the Accounts subject in Group 1 is now broken into both groups.

    My question is that If I attempt the exam in November’13 and not in May’13, will this Unit Scheme (unit 9) and related exemption be applicable in November or any later attempt?

  19. deepti ganti

    i have submitted pcc conversion form on 06/02/13 . I have completed my itt and articleship of 3.5 years. While filling the exam form for may 2013 online it says that registration no and dob do not match. Therefore should i go for provisional registration and documents required to be attached with the exam form. i did have not received the conversion letter should i wait for it to fill the exam form as late date is 27/02/2013 without late fees.
