The Institute of Company Secretary of India(ICSI) issued the circular wherein it extended the provision of making e-MSOP accessible to all eligible students and submission of first and second quarterly reports up to September 30, 2020.

“This is in continuation of our earlier circular no. ICSUTrg/e-MSOP/2020 dated 31.03.2020 and ICSI/Trg/QR/2020 dated 17.04.2020 wherein the students were provided relaxation by easing the eligibility in the provision of e-MSOP and also in the submission of first quarterly reports up to 30 June 2020,” the circular said.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ICSI extended the relaxation in the eligibility criteria for taking admission in e-MSOP by temporarily removing the two-year time bar between professional pass and e-MSOP registration.

The Institute has taken this step so that all the professional pass students irrespective of their year of passing in the professional examination may avail the facility of the MSOP subject to the fulfillment of other conditions mentioned in guidelines. This will facilitate the students to apply for membership without waiting for classroom base MSOP in regions and chapters.

“The Institute has also provided relaxation in submitting the first and second quarterly report of the trainees in the Institute records. Now the last date of submission of the first quarterly report (January – March 2020) and second quarterly report ( April-June 2020) is hereby extended up to 30 September 2020,” the circular said.
