Yes


Yeah. The deferral/refund request can be mailed to india@cfainstitute.org, update@cfainstitute.org

Just called them up at 1-800-425-4361.
Here's the response that I got: If you dont appear for CFA exam on june 03 (India or outside), in case if it were to happen, then you will be contacted regarding deferral or refund (if u cancel).

There's no need to send any mail (but there's no harm in sending one also) .

Have observed the whole scenario and a lot of posts on this thread.

Must commend the way this is being handled by the CFA institute.

This was the statement written in the mail.

"If you were to take the exam outside India, please select which region you might prefer. This is for planning purposes only and will help us gauge initial interest. (You can see the complete list of locations on our website at

Can I switch my Level I exam to December 2007?
If you do not take the exam in June 2007, we will contact you in mid-June to collect information to process a full refund of applicable fees. You can then enroll for the December 2007 exam.
India - FAQ - The CFA Program in India

Read this info from cfa india faq.
For people who have chosen option 1 (like me) as they are not sure of settlement of the whole process (stay, litigation), they can take the exam in dec 07. But in that case cfa institute will be refuding only enrollment fees i think.

I stopped studying after sending option 1 as my choice. If exam were to happen on jun3 and all be required to take it, then i would have lost 3 days . :(

How is this fair? I can't fathom why they provided option 1 in their initial mail. If they don't intend to refund fees if India is the centre, the first option makes no sense.
Guess I'll have to resume preps tonight :|

writing on pg after a long time gladto be back As far as I interpreted the mail, it was not a questionnaire to get a overview of candidates mindset, rather it was options provided. CFA must have thought a lot before giving these options. So if i select option 1 and thn the exam happens on june 3 '07, i would be given option for refund or deferment.And i have doubt regarding refund including registration fees.

Congrats to IIMI-I and to Pranav, Kool, andtherewas1more and Hooda .
