ICAI Membership Procedure,Application Form,Fees
ICAI Membership procedure : First and foremost, I would like to congratulate each and every member who have qualified the May / June 2014 Examination. This must have been one of the defining moments of your life, which has given you the desired outcome which many professionals aspire for. There must be too many thoughts running in one’s mind as to what s/he should do next. Whatever the decision you will be taking, you must consult your parents / peers / colleagues / friends on what you intend to do in life.
There may be varied views from different quarters, ultimately you must decide what is that one passion that has always drove you to do the chartered accountancy course. So, this decision shall be made only by you after giving careful consideration to various views / advices sought from your well wishers (may be your critics too, to understand your strengths/ weakness and overall personality).
Now on the professional front it is also important for you to enroll as a member of ICAI at the earliest. Please understand that you will be referred as a member of ICAI only if you register yourself as a member of the Institute.
In this regard, for those who want to apply for membership, I have given below a gist of activities to be undertaken:
