Treatment for Taken Excess Leave as Per ICAI
An articled assistant who has taken leaves in excess of the maximum leaves allowed by ICAI, he would be required to serve additional period of articleship so as to compensate the excess leaves taken. For this purpose a supplementary deed of articles in form No. “107” should be executed in triplicate with the same employer in continuation of the previous training on a non-judicial stamp paper or special adhesive stamp of the requisite value should be affixed on the supplementary deed form. The supplementary deed in duplicate along with form No. 108 for the period already served, should be sent so as to reach the office of the Institute within 60 days of the expiry of the normal terms of articles.
In case there is a break in the continuity of training and / or there is a change in the employer , an agreement, in form “107” would not be valid. In such a case, a fresh agreement in FORM “102” should be entered into and the particulars in form “103” should be sent to the office of Institute for registration within 30 days of the commencement of training.
A member may be granted an additional vacancy to engage an articled assistant whose normal term of training is over and he/she [the articled assistant) is found to have taken excess leave which is to be made up by an additional period of articles. It is the duty of the employer in such a case to ensure that the articled assistant completes the period of training under him including the period of excess leave. The benefit of an additional vacancy in such cases is given only where it could not have been reasonably anticipated that the articled assistant would have to serve an
extra period on account of the excess leave taken. Such additional vacancy may be given to the previous employer
or to any other chartered accountant entitled to train articled assistant(s).
Note:
1. The form should be submitted to the office of the Institute within 60 days. In case of delay in filing the form beyond the stipulated period, it has to be accompanied by a request for condonation and appropriate condonation fee as per the following schedule:
(i) Delay upto 30 days beyond the initial period = Rs. 100/-
(ii) Delay between 31 days – 180 days = Rs. 300/-
(iii) Delay beyond 181 days = Rs. 1000/-
