In a major flexibility for CA aspirants, the CA Institute, regulator of the chartered accountancy profession, has given articled clerks a choice to opt out of the existing arrangement with a principal during the first year of articleship. “Articled clerks can now transfer to another practicing chartered accountant in the first year. Earlier, there was a blanket ban and no transfer was permissible for all three years.
“Now, we are giving students an option to transfer in the first year. But for the second and third year, the restrictive clauses will continue to apply,” Mr Amarjit Chopra, ICAI President, told BusinessLine, here.
An articled clerk is a trainee attached to a practicing chartered accountant.
There is a deed of articles for the duration of three years.
Hitherto, CA students were unable to transfer to other firms even if the existing one did not suit his or her requirement.
“Many occasions, students felt they had entered a wrong firm or there was no compatibility with the principal. But now the flexibility to transfer is being provided.
“This will benefit both the student and the principal,” Mr Chopra said.

Dear Sir plz help me out as soon as possible. I have completed 1 year & 10 months of my articleship. My Prinicipal is misbehaving with me (talks using badwords, even talks bad about parents too). I am not going to office since last 2 weeks, I want to get transfer. What should I do for the same? My Principal is ready to give me transfer.
I am really depressed because I dont see good career from my firm.. Aisa lagta hai training nahi ek labour ki tarah duty karr raha hu. Icai agar sach mey chahti hai ki uski students me ek achhi kabiliyet aajaye, ek practicle obstacles ko face karne ki taakat badhjaaye apni ca career mey toh then students must be given freedom to take transfer without any single condition. Sale purchase ki entry daal k i dont think ki koi aadmi ek successful chartered accountant banjaayegi. Agar koi firm apni articles ko training k dauraan growth nahi de paati hai toh usko jabarjasti pakad kar rakhne ki v koi hak nahi hai. Agar koi bolta hai ki ca stipend deta hai during training .. Toh my reply is vaad mey jaaye ye sab, article se behtar toh ek chapraasi ki jindagi hai .. Behtar kamata v hai aur apni zindagi se khush v hai kyu usko apni career ki chinta khaaye nahi jati.
Agar real fact bataau to ekdam bekar hai icai ki ye first year period wala relief. Students ki aakhon mey dhul daalne wali kaam hai. Dekhoto sahi, ek taraf se kehdiya ki transfer le sakte ho, aur dusri taraf se condition rakhdiya bachne k liye ki koi v dispute par icai interrupt nahi karegi.. Arey yar toh fir kis chiz ki relief damn it. Article bechare oisehi depression ki sikaar ho jate hai. jab article ko lagta hai ki wo apna current firm per happyily training nahi kar paayega to transfer lene me ca ki consent kyu chaahiye ha?? Apni life ki acchhai k liye ca k consent hona i dont think this is very much important. Bakwas partial amendmend hai ye sab.
If ICAI is not interfere than how can the principle give termination?

I have passed IPCC Nov’10. I have joined articleship in Feb 2011.Because of firm’s head office in Banglore, There is no such work in Mumbai branch.So I have to take transfe. 2 Months is completing in 12 April. What is the procedure to transfer. Can Principal refuse to transfer.
Please Reply
As early as possibe.
Even de councillors at de ca institute clearly says this is a useless regulation by de council since consent of de principle is required, you need contacts in de institute to get your work done! corrupt hai saale sab ke sab !!
I am an ipcc student started my articles in aug 2010. I dont wanted to continue in the same firm so asked my principal for transfer. He said he will not give transfer at any cost.
For IPCC students we can change our employer in the first year of our training.then wat does that mean???? if my present employer says no i hav to continue with him or what?????????
Transfer in the first year of articleship requires CONSENT OF PRINCIPAL????????
Some CA are taking undue advantage from their articles .
Articles are not able to learn much
but principle is just taking work from them in a least cost
and Article Can do nothing
Please give justice to us
Respected Sir,
Our lives are based on C.A
So At least we must have freedom to Get transfer so that we can maintain a better coordination with our trainer
By this Regulation,the persons who were registered previously,they cannot get transfer even if they want to
Plz do something otherwise capable students even wont be able to do CA
just only because we are slaves of our principal
Plz dont make us slaves
Respected sir
Our lives are based on C.A.
Plea
i would like to know whether there is some provision by which an indusatrial trainee in his last 9 months of articleship period , if he feels that he should not continue doing industrial training and should go to soe CA firm to pursue and gain exp in the filed which he wants……then can he take transfer from that ind training company to a CA firm to work under a CA say learning taxation work etc…???
does the ICAI allow that in that last 9 months of articles??
ICAI does have a rule that article can get transfer to other compnay for industrail training in last 9 months and no restriction is there reagarding no. of transfers from one company to another as an industrail trainee.
respected sir…are we required to join another firm within that first year only…plz reply sir

I am pcc student,what is the process of transfer of article-ship because of city change where father is not in government job and what papers are required?
respected sir,
i’m pcc student,what is the process of transfer of articleship because of financial crises ?
Please sir reply quick.
RESPECTED PRESIDENT, SIR
Thank you for giving articles freedom to join another firm during the 1st year But sir please think about increasing the stipend of a article so that it may enable to him to meet some of his expenses of conveyance OR alternate step may be taken to make it compulsory for firms to provide conveyance allowances to articles for coming to office for a distance more than 5k.m
Sir this is totally unfair that we cant register in the same city where we need to work like slaves for 3 1/2 yrs and where we r not getting any exposure
I’ve completed 24 months of aricleship.I couldn’t pass the exam (PCC). Now I want to terminate the articleship training. For I have sent the application forms and our institite also permitted me for termination / registration of articlaeship . now i wan’t join a airticalship after my nov 2011 attempt. can i re-ragistration after 15 months from termination date . what are it’s procedures? what should I do for getting the service certificate from my principal? pls reply
Thank you sir,
But i have a question what to do if a principal is not giving transfer even to his first year article student just bcoz he dont have more articles in his office.uski life to kharab ho gayi na…how he wil endure him for 3yr.
I request you plz reannounce that consent of the principal for the first year article is not reqd. Or the principal is bound in the first year. Thank you
Employer do not give transfer of articleship and having moral turpitude to article and having threatend to article for career destroyable.
thank you sir for relaxtion to articleship but in dispute among the firm and articles icai will not interface this is not good because mostly firm won’t transfer
Dear Sir,
As the stipend is very less compared to a full time job, why don’t you reduce the number of working hours so that this gives us an opportunity to do graduation or any other course along with training. A ‘no stipend’ plan is also justifiable in this case. This gives an opportunity to attend the subject training course during the day time for final exam.
hey sir this is to unfair sir.Now, an article assistant who thinks for a better exposure in third /second year of training, can’t fulfil this needs because of this ban. ban makes us just slaves. only in a better working condition anyone can learn from it. otherwise it is a dumpwaste of time sir.
Thank you Mr.president for giving such relaxation for transfer of articleship traning in the frist year but do something more for articles they are also human being increase this relaxation period for two year and also look into the matter of stipend. Stipend given is not sufficent.
Mr. President, thank you for relaxation for transfer of articleship training in the first year but request you to kindly do some thing for stipend because if you will see the price rise of travelling and other thing. Stipend seems very small.
Thank you,
Mr. President, Thank you for giving relaxation for first year articles.
But it is still not fair because the provision of non-transfer make the life of an article like hell, if his/her employer is inhuman.
It seems that you are in mood to give some relaxation to articles.
Therefore, you are requested to fix a minimum period of 3-6 month under an employer but don’t restrict the trasfer of articleship.
Thanking you,
verry gud mr. president u banned d transfer when we are in our first year and now we can not take transfer at all so where is the justice for us?????
what the f? This is bringing slavery system back to india. they dont increase stipend and now they are selling us as bonded labourers. We have the right to choose under whom we shall work. We need the Cgovt to intervene along with human rights commission. This announcement is just trying to show that they are doing sth; which they aren’t. ICAI is rotting now a days.
