To clarify the eligibility and procedure for starting industrial training (IT) in relation to your articleship period, here’s a comprehensive guide:
### **1. **Eligibility for Industrial Training**
**Completion of Articleship:** According to ICAI regulations, industrial training can be undertaken in the last year of articleship, i.e., after completing at least two years of articleship.
### **2. **Timeline for Starting Industrial Training**
**Gross Period:** ICAI generally considers the gross period of articleship for eligibility. This means that if you have completed two years of articleship, you can start industrial training during the remaining period of your articleship, regardless of whether it is before or after the official end date of your articleship.
### **3. **Procedure for Starting Industrial Training**
**1. Completion of Articleship:** Ensure you have completed at least two years of your articleship. The extension period is considered part of the articleship.
**2. **Agreement with Principal:** You need to obtain consent from your principal to terminate your articleship and transition to industrial training. This is often done through a formal written notice.
**3. **Documentation and Forms:** - **Form 109:** You need to submit Form 109 to ICAI, notifying them of the termination or completion of articleship. - **Form 102:** If starting industrial training, ensure that you also fill out Form 102 as required by ICAI. - **Cover Letter:** A cover letter from your current principal stating the termination date and allowing you to start industrial training.
**4. **Applying for Industrial Training:** - **Company Selection:** Apply to companies or organizations offering industrial training. - **Approval:** Ensure that the company meets ICAI’s criteria for industrial training.
### **4. **Convincing Your Principal**
**1. **Communicate Clearly:** Explain the benefits and relevance of industrial training for your career. Highlight that the ICAI allows industrial training during the extension period.
**2. **Refer to ICAI Regulations:** Provide references from ICAI guidelines or consult ICAI helpdesk for clarification. ICAI regulations typically allow industrial training to start before the end date of the gross period of articleship.
**3. **Formal Request:** Submit a formal written request to your principal, including a copy of relevant ICAI regulations or guidelines.
### **5. **If Principal Does Not Agree**
**1. **Seek Alternative Solutions:** If your principal is unwilling to sign before 9/4/2011, consider discussing with the company offering industrial training about a possible start date that aligns with your principal’s signing date.
**2. **Consult ICAI:** If you face difficulties with your principal, consult ICAI directly for guidance. They can provide official advice and may intervene if necessary.
**3. **Documentation:** Ensure you have all required documentation ready and in order to avoid any delays.
### **6. **Serving Extension Period Under Industrial Training**
**1. **Extension Consideration:** The extension period can be served under industrial training, provided it aligns with ICAI’s rules and your principal's agreement.
**2. **Regulations:** Ensure compliance with ICAI regulations for both articleship and industrial training. Confirm with ICAI if they have specific requirements for serving the extension period under industrial training.
**Summary:** You can start industrial training during your extension period as long as you have completed the required two years of articleship. It’s important to communicate effectively with your principal and ensure all ICAI requirements are met. If necessary, seek guidance from ICAI to resolve any issues with your principal.
