This query is : Resolved
I'm practicing chartered accountant in Bangalore and now I passed LLB exam by Karnataka Law University.
As per ICAI, membership is separate from practicing. A member who wishes to practice should apply for Certificate of Practice [COP] initially, then he can perform attestation function.
I wish to continue with CA profession only.
My question is that, can I become bar council member without surrendering my CA COP?

You will have to practice only one of the two professions.
