What is the Last Date for Articleship Registration If One Wants to Give November 2020 Final Attempt?
Candidates who aim to give their final Chartered Accountant (CA) attempt in November 2020 and are yet to register for Articleship need to be aware of the following details. The last date for registering for Articleship is 30th April 2021. This registration period is crucial as it aligns with the eligibility criteria for the final examination.
Eligibility Criteria and Important Dates
The last date for Articleship registration is 30th April 2021. Before joining Articleship, all candidates must have successfully completed a 4-week course on ICITSS (Indian CA Institute Technology System Security). This requirement applies to both CA Foundation course route students and Direct Entry Students.
By joining Articleship between 1st November 2020 and 30th April 2021, candidates can appear for the final CA examination in November 2023, provided they have successfully cleared both groups of the CA Intermediate examination by then. It is imperative to join Articleship well before the last date to avoid deferring eligibility for the final examination beyond November 2023.
Strategic Planning and Cushioning
It is essential to plan ahead and join Articleship at the earliest to have some cushion in case you need to terminate your Articleship and rejoin elsewhere. Under the relevant rules, the intervening period between the termination of Articleship from one principal and joining under another principal is not treated as serviceable time. Hence, if you join on 1st April 2021 and have to terminate your Articleship in between, you have 30 full days to rejoin in another firm without it counted as serviceable time.
To ensure you do not jeopardize your eligibility for the final CA examination, it is recommended not to wait until the last date for registration. Instead, plan ahead and join Articleship sooner to mitigate any potential risks.
