It’s only necessary if you want to be a partner signing opinions. Otherwise that attest license is useless.

Many people who are not in Assurance do not bother applying for the attest license.

And you can convert to attest down the road if you decide you do want to sign off on opinions

Hi fishes,

Today I got an email from TCS to complete an ibegin registration. Whenever I login, it is asking me to enter PAN details and mail ID. If I give, it is giving a warning that my account is already present in ibegin and telling me to login with another email ID. As if I remember, one of the consultancy, used my PAN to register in ibegin but I’m unable to login since it is registered by their mail ID and my PAN.
