Yes, you are allowed to request termination of your Articleship on medical grounds related to your parents. Here are the steps and requirements you should consider:
### Requirements for Termination on Medical Grounds:
1. **Medical Certificate:** - Obtain a medical certificate from a registered medical practitioner detailing the medical condition of your parent(s) that necessitates your presence and care at home. - The medical certificate should clearly state the nature of the medical condition, the need for your presence, and the expected duration of your absence from Articleship.
2. **Approval from Principal:** - Discuss your situation with your Articleship Principal (employer). Explain the circumstances and provide the medical certificate as supporting documentation. - Obtain approval from your Principal for the termination of Articleship on medical grounds.
3. **Form No. 109:** - Complete Form No. 109, which is used for seeking termination of Articleship. Include details of your medical reasons and attach the medical certificate along with the form. - Ensure all sections of the form are accurately filled out, including the reason for termination and supporting documentation.
4. **Submission to ICAI:** - Submit Form No. 109 along with the medical certificate to the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). This can typically be done through the SSP Portal (Student Skills Portal) or as per the specific instructions provided by ICAI.
5. **Follow-Up and Documentation:** - Follow up with ICAI to ensure your application for termination is processed. Keep records of all communications and submissions made to ICAI.
### Additional Considerations:
- **Consultation:** If you are unsure about any specific requirements or procedures, consult with your Principal or a mentor who can provide guidance. - **Compliance:** Adhere to all timelines and guidelines provided by ICAI for the termination process. - **Supporting Documents:** Ensure all required supporting documents, such as the medical certificate, are complete and valid according to ICAI standards.
By following these steps and providing the necessary documentation, you can request termination of your Articleship on parents' medical grounds. It's essential to maintain clear communication with both your Principal and ICAI throughout the process to facilitate a smooth termination and possibly plan for future resumption of Articleship when circumstances allow.
