Season’s Greetings,

Sub: PART B and PART C of MEF 2016-17 has been made live till 31st October, 2016 to enable the applicants to fill/edit the same.

As you are aware, MEF 2016-17 has been divided into three parts:

Part A: For Bank Branch Auditors’ Panel
Part B: For Additional information for Multipurpose Empanelment
Part C: For Panel of Cooperative Societies and Cooperative Banks

To ease out the submission process, we had made PART B and PART C non-functional which was not applicable for Bank Branch Auditors’ Panel. PART B and PART C is live now and would be functional till 31st October, 2016 to enable the applicants to fill/edit the same.

Applicants, who have submitted PART A of MEF can now login Multipurpose Empanelment Form 2016-17 through their credentials (MRN/FRN & Password) created this year to fill/edit PART B and/or PART C of MEF. As you are aware that after the issuance of the Notification dated 7th April, 2016 on responding to tenders, entities are being advised to avail the Multipurpose Empanelment data available with ICAI for allotting various assignments. In addition to this we are also receiving request for panel from Cooperative Societies. So accordingly PART B & PART C has been included in MEF 2016-17.

We therefore request all the applicants to login and fill/edit the form. After finishing, PART B and/or PART C there is no need to send the Declaration again. Those who have already filled PART B & PART C need not fill it again. However, they may edit any information which they have given earlier.

Endeavoring to facilitate you for submitting PART B and PART C of Multipurpose Empanelment Form for the year 2016-17.

Regards,

CA. Prafulla Premsukh Chhajed CA. Ranjeet Kumar Agarwal

As you are aware, every year, Professional Development hosts an online form popularly known as MEF ie., Multipurpose Empanelment Form at www.meficai.org This year in order, to make the Members aware as to what information is going to flow from Institute’s records in MEF.

As the information field related to year of constitution and address, flows from Institute’s database and are non-editable fields, applicants are requested to kindly check these information thoroughly. In this regard, it is important to note that the Council of the Institute at its 242nd meeting held in April, 2004 had decided interalia as under:

“For the purposes of Empanelment in the C&AG Panel prepared by office of C&AG and Bank Branch Auditors’ Panel prepared by ICAI (for which Constitution Certificates as on 1st January are issued every year), no condonation of delay in submission of Form 18 beyond 31st January preceding the financial year under audit (e.g. 31st January, 2016 for empanelment for the year 2016-17) will be done by the Institute.”

We understand that the status of your firm as on 01.01.16 has been updated in your concerned Regional office. However, if you find any deviation from your actual status, kindly ensure that your status is updated on or before 25th May, 2016 with your concerned Regional Office. Soon after this MEF data verification process, MEF will be hosted at www.meficai.org
