Hello

I'm trying to take termination of my articleship which i have already completed my one year service, the reason i want to take termination is for gaining better work knowledge in medium/big firm than the present firm which is somewhat small.

I need to know that can i make an application to the institute for termination regarding the above reason or not?

No the above reason is not considered under the Termination/Transfer rules of ICAI regulations. Only the following are permitted:

Medical grounds requiring discontinuance of articles for a minimum period of three months (on production of a Medical Certificate issued by a Government Hospital).
Transfer of a working parent to another city involving a distance of minimum 50 kms (on production of a certified copy of the transfer order and the proof of relocation to another City).
Misconduct involving moral turpitude.
Other justifiable circumstances / reasons: -
- Grounds already permissible in the Chartered Accountants Regulations, 1988 (on submission of requisite proof of the act warranting transfer/termination of articleship): -
  - Industrial Training (Regulation 51)
  - Secondment of articles (Regulation 54)
  - Conversion from PCC to IPCC (for termination of articles only. Re-registration of articles to be allowed only after passing Group-I of IPCC)
  - Death of Principal [Regulation 57(1)(c)]
  - Ceasing of practice by the Principal [Regulation 57(1)(a)]
  - Removal of name of the Principal from the Register of Member due to any reason [Regulation 57(1)(b)]

Cases Where Transfer can be taken after 1st Year of Articleship.

And If you want to take transfer on medical grounds then you will be allowed only on production of a Medical Certificate issued by a Government Hospital.
