1. No there is no limit. But transfer is subject to the approval of ICAI. Free transfer is not allowed. 2. Yes resident proof is must. For further details you should contact your nearest ICAO branch. 3. In case of Illness there must be certain no. of leave which will extend your training period. 4. The best way to deal with transfer problem is to visit E-saahaayataa started by ICAI. You may online ask your query.
