Yes, you can rejoin articleship under the new scheme after clearing CA Intermediate Group 2, irrespective of your previous articleship termination under the old scheme. Here’s how it generally works:
1. **Termination of Articleship**: When you got terminated from articleship due to health reasons in December 2023, it was within the one-year period. According to ICAI rules, you can apply for rejoining articleship after termination due to medical reasons.
2. **Transition to New Scheme**: Since you have converted from the foundation route to the direct entry route in September 2023 and already cleared CA Intermediate Group 1 in November 2023, you are eligible to continue under the new scheme for further studies and articleship.
3. **Joining Articleship Under New Scheme**: After clearing CA Intermediate Group 2, you can seek a new articleship position under the provisions of the new scheme. The period you served in the old scheme (September to December 2023) can be disregarded, and you can start afresh under the new scheme regulations.
4. **Process**: You would need to find a CA firm willing to take you on as an articled assistant under the new scheme. The firm would register you accordingly, and you would need to complete the required period of articleship as per the new scheme guidelines.
It's recommended to consult with your local ICAI branch or a mentor for specific procedural details and ensure compliance with the latest regulations regarding articleship under the new scheme.
