I have submitted my form 103 (articleship registration form) after 37 days of commencement of my articleship, i.e. a delay of 7 days. I have already paid the prescribed fine of Rs.100/- . I have received the Institute's letter requesting me to state the reason for delay in submitting the form. Please suggest me some reason which may sound genuine.
I was thinking of the following reasons-
1. I was out-station for audit.
2. The partner under whom I was supposed to get registered was out of the country for official purposes.
3. Medical reasons.
Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
