How can a lawyer act as Advocate in the Supreme Court of India?

An Advocate is ususally certified to practice as Advocate in every court of India. But for the purposes of acting as Advocate in the Supreme Court of India, there is a category of Advocate on Record. According to Dr. A. N. Chaturvedi's book "Principles of Forms of Pleadings & Conveyancing with Advocacy & Professional Ethics" in order to be registered as an Advocate on record, it is necessary that:
