02 August 2024 During the articleship period for Chartered Accountancy (CA) students in India, the leave entitlement and the specifics around paid versus unpaid leave are governed by the regulations set by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). Here’s a breakdown of the leave policies:

### **Leave Entitlement During Articleship**

1. **Leave Accumulation**:
- **ICAI Regulation**: Under ICAI regulations, the maximum leave entitlement is generally 1/6th of the total period of articleship served.
- For a typical three-year articleship, this amounts to a maximum of 6 months of leave.

2. **Types of Leave**:
- **Paid Leave**: There is no specific provision that states all 1/6th leave is paid. The entitlement to paid leave depends on the agreement between the articled assistant and the principal. In most cases, leave taken is generally unpaid unless specifically mentioned otherwise in the terms of the articleship agreement.
- **Unpaid Leave**: Typically, leave beyond what is specified in the articleship agreement or ICAI regulations is unpaid.

### **Practical Application**

- **Calculating 1/6th Leave**:
- **For Three Years of Articleship**: If you complete a full three-year articleship, the total maximum leave allowable would be 6 months. If you take more than this, your articleship period may be extended correspondingly.

- **For Shorter Periods**: If you are in your articleship for less than three years, the 1/6th rule still applies proportionally. For example, if you complete 1 year of articleship, you would be entitled to up to 2 months of leave.

- **Leave for Exams and Other Purposes**:
- **Exams**: ICAI allows a specific number of days (usually 7) for exam preparation which may be considered separately from the regular leave entitlement.

### **ICAI Regulation Reference**

The relevant regulations are generally found in the "Chartered Accountants Regulations, 1988" under:

- **Regulation 57**: It covers the leave entitlement for articled assistants.

For the most current and detailed information, you should refer to the ICAI’s official website or directly consult with the ICAI or your firm's HR department. The official ICAI website provides comprehensive resources and regulations for CA students and articled assistants:

### **Summary**

- **Leave Entitlement**: Up to 1/6th of the articleship period can be taken as leave.
- **Paid vs. Unpaid**: The leave entitlement under ICAI regulations does not specify that all leave is paid; it is generally unpaid unless specified in the articleship agreement.

Ensure to review your specific articleship agreement and consult with your principal or ICAI for any additional details or clarifications regarding your leave entitlements.
