In order to expose the trainees at large to multi-disciplinary work and variety of business
situations, the arrangement of secondment has been provided in the Regulation 54. The
procedure relating to secondment enables an articled trainee to gain practical experience, in
areas where the Principal may not be in a position to provide the same, in the office of another
member in practice on the basis of a mutually agreed arrangement. In order that maximum
advantage can be taken of this procedure, the secondment scheme has been made flexible.
Secondment is allowed with the consent of the articled trainee from one employer to a
member who is entitled to train articled trainees in his own right or to a member in industry
who is entitled to train industrial trainees. The member to whom the trainee is seconded is
not entitled to train more than two such trainees on secondment at a time. The aggregate
period of secondment cannot exceed one year provided that the period served on secondment
with any one member or his partner does not exceed six months. Where an articled trainee is
seconded to a member in industry, the total period spent in industry including the period of
industrial training should not exceed one year. During secondment the Principal is required to
pay the stipend. The Principal is required to keep records of the training undergone during
secondment and include its particulars in the report to the Council under Regulation 64.
Apart from the secondment of a trainee from one firm to another firm or to an industry, firms
may exchange trainees on mutual basis for a limited period to the advantage of firms and
trainees. Such an arrangement is also quite flexible like the scheme of secondment and
enables the firms to overcome deficiency, if any, in practical training imparted to trainees.
