After completing the period of excess leave during your CA Articleship, you typically need to submit a rejoining letter or an extension request to the Principal of the firm where you are undergoing Articleship. This is to inform them of your return to regular Articleship duties after the period of excess leave.
Here are the general steps you may need to follow:
1. **Rejoining Letter:** Write a formal letter addressed to the Principal of the CA firm. Mention the details of your excess leave period, the reason for the leave (if required), and state that you are now rejoining and available to resume your Articleship duties.
2. **Acknowledgment:** Ensure that the Principal acknowledges your rejoining letter. This acknowledgment serves as documentation of your return to active Articleship status.
3. **Form Filling (if applicable):** Depending on the specific requirements of your CA Articleship firm or institute, you may need to fill out a rejoining form or provide any other documentation they require for record-keeping purposes.
4. **Discuss with Principal:** It's a good practice to discuss your rejoining formally with the Principal to confirm any specific conditions or expectations upon your return.
5. **Record Keeping:** Keep a copy of your rejoining letter and any acknowledgment for your own records. This documentation may be required for future references or audits.
If there are specific forms or procedures mandated by your CA institute or firm for rejoining after excess leave, ensure to follow those guidelines precisely. This approach helps maintain compliance and clear communication during your Articleship period.
