07 April 2013 Hi!!! I'm Prachi Kolambekar, BCom 2012-80%, Student of IPCC under Direct Entry Scheme. I started my articleship on 28/01/2013 whish is required as per ICAI norms to appear for Nov'13 attempt. but I am so frustrated with my office atmosphere and over all experience there. I am very well aware that article's life is not easy. I am ready to wait for more than 8 hrs, happy with the stipend of Rs 3000/- also but my CA(FCA 28yrs) is a very cheap human being. there is no good working condition, no much work too. stipend is even fully paid only if we wait for 9 hrs a day. more over he makes a stupid comments on female articles among male articles. he has taken a signature on paper which states that we can not ask transfer or we can not opt for industrial training' if we do so then we have to pay him a money for his sign. and he is not allowing us to attend GMCS also which falls under ICAI norms.
what should I do yae ??? i am seriously feeling damn helpless. there is moch more tensions over there then i mentioned. Being a Just Graduate there is no much scope in good ca firms also i find. please somebody guide me or suggest me that what should I do???

07 April 2013 Dear Prachi,
First of all its all part of life, according to me; in any situation you must have to become a CA.
If their are some problems in your office/senior you should give a hard & genuine representation to the ICAI telling the situation. I m sure that the help will come.
No one exploit the carrier of any other.

08 April 2013 I do not agree with it being a part of life.
I do agree with making a representation to ICAI requesting for transfer because i am of the view that him asking for money to take transfer is illegal.
You should simply write a letter to concerned authority in ICAI with a request to look into the matter.
At least, i am sure you will be able to obtain a transfer. Having said that, you will be lucky to find a place where you will be 'happy'. Unfortunately that is the nature of the profession & the people that run it.

28 May 2013 Prachi,
Let me tell you that you are in wrong hands and you have to come out of it. The best way to do so is to write a letter to your employer stating the facts and also state that the signature he has taken is totally illegal and against the norms of the ICAI. To do so you require a lot of courage and you also require help of other Articles.

A copy of the letter should be sent to the President, Secretary of ICAI and Chairman of your region.

After the letter duly signed by all articles you all will face lot of problems. Till all the articles unite this problem can never be solved. For further details you can write to me at ssunderagarwal@gmail.com or you can personally meet me to sort out the problems through WICASA and Regional Council Members.
