As of the latest guidelines provided by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), if you have completed the Information Technology Training (ITT) through another professional course such as the Company Secretary (CS) program, you may not automatically get an exemption for the ITT requirement for the CA articleship.
### **Key Points:**
1. **Separate Requirements:** - The ITT requirement for CA is specific to the ICAI’s own training program and is generally not waived based on completion of similar training from another professional body.
2. **Verification with ICAI:** - The ICAI has specific requirements for ITT which typically need to be fulfilled by their own training programs. You should contact ICAI or check the latest guidelines on their official website to verify if any cross-recognition or exemptions are available.
3. **Submission of Documentation:** - If you believe that the training you completed under CS is equivalent, you can submit the relevant details and certificates to the ICAI for their review. They will make the final decision on whether an exemption or recognition is possible.
4. **Alternate Steps:** - If the ICAI does not grant an exemption, you will need to complete the ITT as per their requirements before you can enroll for articleship.
5. **ICAI Notifications:** - Keep an eye on notifications from ICAI regarding any changes in their training requirements or policies. The rules might be updated, and staying informed will help you manage your training requirements effectively.
### **Steps to Take:**
1. **Contact ICAI:** - Reach out to ICAI's regional office or the examination department directly to inquire about the possibility of an exemption based on your CS training.
2. **Submit Evidence:** - If allowed, provide detailed documentation of the IT training you completed as part of your CS qualification, including course content, duration, and certification.
3. **Follow ICAI’s Guidance:** - Adhere to any additional instructions or requirements provided by ICAI to ensure compliance and proper registration for your CA articleship.
By taking these steps, you will be able to clarify your status regarding the ITT requirement and proceed accordingly with your CA articleship.
