(4) If the Government is satisfied that any diploma, certificate or designation granted or conferred by any person other than the Institute, which purports to be a qualification in cost and management accounting but which, in the opinion of the Government, falls short of the standard of qualifications prescribed for cost and management accountants and does not in fact indicate or purport to indicate the profession or attainment of any qualifications or competence in cost and management accounting similar to that of a member of the Institute, it may, by notification in the official Gazette and subject to such conditions as it may think fit to impose, declare that this section shall not apply to such diploma, certificate or designation.
