17 February 2024 Hi,

My self is CA Sushil Upadhyay

I was employed with one CA firm and resigned from the firm before 8 month however firm still not updating my reliving date on ICAI portal. I had informed to firms section of ICAI and they had send 5 reminder and also i called them and mailed but they are not responding. I was ready to serve 2 month notice period as they told in interview 1 month notice but at the time of resignation they are arguing for 3 month notice period and after that i did not serve notice period they are not accepting 2 month notice period.

What i do now please suggest.
I want to apply for COP.

07 July 2024 Since the firm is not responding to your requests regarding updating your relieving date on the ICAI portal, and considering the disagreement over the notice period served, here are some steps you can take:

1. **Document Everything**: Ensure you have documented evidence of your resignation letter, any correspondence with the firm, and details of the notice period agreed upon.

2. **Approach ICAI**: Continue to escalate the matter with the ICAI through formal channels. If the firm's section is not responding adequately, consider contacting other relevant departments or higher authorities within the ICAI.

3. **Legal Advice**: If necessary, seek legal advice to understand your rights regarding notice period and to ensure the firm complies with the agreed terms.

4. **Professional Ethics**: Consider invoking professional ethics if the firm's conduct raises concerns about adherence to professional standards.

5. **Follow-up**: Persist in your efforts to resolve the issue through regular follow-ups via emails, calls, and written letters. Keep records of all communication attempts.

By documenting your efforts and seeking appropriate support, you can work towards resolving this issue effectively.
