04 May 2013 Thank you ankur sir for the shelling out your precious time in responding to my query.
However i would specifically like to after how much should i have to re-register with the institute after submitting form 109.
I have heard that after expiry of certain period, if we fail to re-register, our CA final attempt gets delayed.
Also which date would be considered as the date of termination of articleship from the firm of my previous principal?
Kindly help

05 June 2013 You can register within 30 days and that 30 days shall not be counted as an article period so do it within 2-3 days time provided the transfer rules are applicable to you and you are allowed to take transfer.
