Hey after reading what u posted & the replies to ur post I can just say that the only solution without much harm is conversion of PCC to IPCC.
But let me tell u this he is ur employer & he is the PRINCIPAL person & u need his signature as his consent towards ur articleship at his place. Complaining about him to any person or ICAI will not harm him for anything as there r many rules & regulation to be followed both by the articles & the principal, but not followed becoz of lack of knowledge of the articles.
And what is the guarantee that u won’t get the same kind of employer after conversion…….
Look I can understand ur mental status what u going thru right now……
Nobody gonna help u with ur problem its u who have to fight for the right….
Don’t take me wrong but what I personally feel is u shud better stay at ur principal and complete ur articleship.
U say there r other articles too aren’t they mentally disturbed…… r u doing the work at ur best then why is the question of harassment…. U must be giving him a chance to say the things….
U got 2 yrs left to complete ur articleship what I suggest is just try to focus on ur studies. Take everything POSITIVELY…. U will always get to learn something or the other from every situation of life. Think like ur principal might have a different way to teach his articles, he’s just there to teach u.
But still u feel not to work at his place then give a fight with his own weapon MENTAL HARRASSMENT…. The biggest advantage to u is u r a GIRL use ur GIRL POWER. He won’t gonna hurt u just harass u. U just have to get his signatures on the relevant forms with all the detailed calculations in ur favor…… Ask ur parents to help u in this but peacefully....
B Strong dont fall down..... U r perusing chartered accountancy..... U dared to do this course..... Just achieve ur TARGET & study hard....
Hope my reply makes a peace in ur mind…..
