Taking a transfer of articleship on grounds related to work preference and discomfort with certain departments, such as taxation and audit, can be challenging. Here are some considerations and steps you can take:
### Grounds for Transfer:
1. **Work Preference**: You mentioned that you are currently in the FEMA and valuation team but not getting work related to taxation and audit, which are part of your CA Final curriculum. If your current firm cannot provide you with exposure to these areas despite your request, it could be a valid ground for seeking a transfer.
2. **Discomfort and Hours**: Feeling uncomfortable with the discipline or work hours of certain departments (e.g., late working hours in taxation and audit) is a personal consideration. While it may impact your decision, it’s generally not a typical ground for transfer unless it significantly affects your ability to fulfill your articleship requirements.
### Steps to Consider:
1. **Discuss with Your Principal**: Have a candid discussion with your Principal or HR department about your concerns. Explain your interest in gaining experience in taxation and audit as part of your CA Final preparation. Seek their understanding and explore if they can accommodate your request within the firm.
2. **Formal Request**: If discussions do not yield results and you still wish to transfer, prepare a formal request for transfer. Outline your reasons clearly, including the need for exposure to taxation and audit areas to fulfill your CA Final requirements.
3. **Prepare Necessary Documents**: Ensure you have all necessary documents ready, including your request letter, consent letter from your current Principal, and any supporting documentation.
4. **Submit Form 109**: Complete Form 109 for the transfer of articleship and submit it to your regional office. Ensure all sections are filled accurately and include all required attachments (e.g., NOC from current Principal, request letter).
5. **Follow-Up**: Follow up with the regional office on the status of your application. They may require additional information or clarification before processing your request.
### Conclusion:
While work preference and discomfort with certain departments can be considered valid grounds for transfer, the primary focus should be on fulfilling your CA Final requirements and gaining diverse experience. Ensure your decision aligns with your career goals and discuss openly with your current Principal and the regional office to facilitate a smooth transfer process.
