CS Professional · Compliance Management, Audit and Due Diligence · Values, Ethics and Professional Conduct

Neha, a CS, was removed from membership of ICSI for two years after an inquiry found her guilty of professional misconduct. Three months later she applies to have her name re-entered in the Register of members. What is the position?

She is not entitled to re-entry until the two-year period ends. Section 8(f) and its proviso bar a person removed for misconduct, and one removed for a specified period cannot have her name entered in the Register of members until that period expires.

  1. AShe may be entered immediately because removal is only a penalty
  2. BShe may be entered after paying the prescribed fee
  3. CShe is not entitled to entry until the specified period expiresCorrect
  4. DShe is permanently barred from the Register

Explanation

Section 8(f) disqualifies a person removed from membership after inquiry for misconduct, and its proviso says a person removed for a specified period is not entitled to entry in the Register until that period expires. Permanent bar (option D) applies only where removal is not for a specified period, so it does not fit.
