31 July 2012 A Chartered Accountant holding membership no. and COP from 8th December 2010 enrolled his 1st article(intern) in June 2012. If his no. of years in Practice is 0-3 years, then he is entitled to 1 article and if it 3-5 years then 3 articles. Now the question, when does his 1st phase of 0-3 years finish? Does it complete on 31st December 2012 or does it complete on 8th December 2013? I heard Calendar year is taken into account but am not sure. Please advise.

31 July 2012 Year is counted from the date he became the member of the Institute and NOT on calendar year basis.

So, his 3 years will complete on 7 Dec 2013.
