Further, Members may also note that in case the advance fees has been paid in the past, the balance fees/difference of the fee becomes payable in the current financial year. In other words payment of balance fee /difference in fee is a must for renewal of membership/certificate of practice, as the case may be.

It may be noted that an ACA who has paid advance membership fee for a period not exceeding 10 years and at a later stage opt for FCA status then the member is required to pay difference fee (the difference of fee in conversion from ACA to FCA and Fellow Member Admission Fee) for the remaining period.
