As informed earlier vide announcement dated 2nd July 2010, ICAI is allowing the articled assistants to seek transfer/termination of articleship only on permissible grounds and the articled assistants are advised to get the consent of the Institute before getting Form 109 signed by the Principal in their own interest. However, it is noticed that some of the articled assistants are submitting Form 109 signed by the principal along with the application for transfer/termination of articleship. Issuance of Form 109 prior to formal approval of the Institute for transfer will not be taken into record. It is advised that Principal and articled assistant may forward Form 109 duly signed by both of them only after obtaining the prior permission of the Institute for transfer/termination.
The time period is not specified by Institute under which Form-109 should be filed with Institute. However, this form-109 is valid only for a period of sixty days from the date of issue by the office of the Institute. The date of issue of this certificate cannot be prior to the date on which the FORM is issued by office of the Institute.
