The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has decided to waive off condonation fee for members and firms charged due to late filing of Form-18. The decision has been taken by the institution considering the situation and hindrances occurring due to a surge in COVID-19 cases in the country.
The institute has observed that amidst the current situation arising out of Covid-19, members and firms are facing difficulties in filing Form 18.
“Such delay in submission of online application Form is attracting levy of Condonation fee under the relevant Regulatory Provisions and creating hardship to them,” it said.
Considering the difficulties which may be faced by Members and Firms, the condonation fee has been waived off by ICAI for all the transactions, which are made between April 1 to June 30 till July 30. The firms and members can visit the official website –icar.org in order to procure Form-18.
