Urgent help - articleship

Hi,

The last date for registering for articleship is 31 October to be eligible for May 2016 exams right? What is the exact procedure for registering? I mean once I get selected in a firm (which I will within a week) and get the articleship deed prepared by the principle (Form 102 I think), does the date commence (for cutoff of 31st Oct) from then or from the day we submit the form 102/103 to the Institute or the day when we get an acknowledgement/I-Card from the institute? Please guide me as 31st October is nearing and I'm really worried.

Thanks and regards

The date mentioned in the deed of articles(ie. stamp paper worth Rs.50) is the date of registration for articleship . It is this date which is supposed to be before 31st October. within 30 days from the date of registration of articles you are supposed to submit forms 102 and 103 to the institute.

Then visit the Regional Chapter either they will provide you an ID card or you have to buy articleship form again...

There are two 102 Forms in the bundle. One is on a green paper and the other on white. Am I suppose to get the green form 102 franked or can I have it typed on a stamp paper (NJS Rs. 100)? I'm confused as many say franking is a must while others say stamp paper will suffice.

Lastly, is it a normal practice for students to backdate their form 103? What benefit does it serve? I believe ICAI asks for the stipend details & deed copy to verify the dates if the submission is delayed beyond 30 days, so would like to know if it is possible to get backdated Stamp Papers. I am asking this just for the sake of information.

Thanks
