You have all the rights. Remember that STUDENTS ARE POWER. You are not a puppet of anyone's hand and you will never be in life. A student can get the transfer in articleship. As per my knowledge the present regulations are that a student can freely get transfer in the first year of articleship. You can do any of the following:

Your Rights:

Find a new good firm for articleship for you and tell your present employer that you are terminating the articleship in the capacity of the independent citizen of India as per rights given to Indian citizens by constitution and CA Act, 1949, Prior approval of ICAI is required to take transfer. Send a written request to ICAI stating all your problems, asking to permit you to take transfer. I am sure that you will get the permission. Your employer also have to sign that letter of request, but he will surely refuse to sign or do unnecesary delay. Tell him that you will file a complaint to the discipline director of ICAI and also in the high court, new delhi for non payment of stipend and exploitation and his membership will be in danger and may be cancelled then as it will be easily proved from the bank statements that you are not paid the stipend. Stop going to office with a notice to your employer that you do not wish to continue. If they refuse for that, then also stop going to office, no one can spoil anything of you. This is my guerantee.

If necessary, you can file a complaint to ICAI in form 1 with the DD of 2500 in favor of secretary, ICAI, New Delhi. The procedure for complaint and form 1 is attached herewith.

My Advice:

To know more about me, visit: /forum/details.asp?mod_id=114530 I dont know you are aware of this or not but today the exploitation of articles in the field of CA has reached to its extreme. Students are forced to take care of wife and children of CA and also forced violently to sweep office and brutal mental torture is exercised to exploit innocent students. So it is my frank advise that in stead of exercising your rights that you do have and you CAN EXERCISE AS A CITIZEN OF FREE INDIA, you should continue your present articleship, if you dont have to face much mental torture and harassment. Stipend is irrelevant. Forget about the experience of work and concentrate of studies. Degree is more important than experience.

Remember that PEACE IS BETTER THAN WAR, BUT WAR IS NECESSARY TO STOP EXPLOITATION. NOW YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN WAR AND PEACE AS PER YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES.

Regards.

Dear Mr. : Sasanka Bhalaki, it is for your kind attention that ICAI has not annonced any such thing and the disciplinery committee is specially established by ICAI to entertain disputes between a article and principal. Your reply is totally vague and baseless.

Its ok. You are right that there is announcement by ICAI dated 2nd July 2010 but ithis notification does not deprive students of their basic right of protection against exploitation by employers. I have attached that notification herewith for your reference. The wordings of this notification are "The articled assistants are required to get the consent of the Institute before getting Form 109 signed by the Principal in their own interest. In case of dispute between principal and articled assistant, the matter be settled amicably among the articled assistant and the principal concerned and the Institute shall not interfere in such cases." The effect of this notification is that if there is any dispute between article assistant and principal regarding whether or not to take transfer, then ICAI will not interfere in such cases. This notification does not mean that any kind of dispute between article assistant and principal shall not be entertained by ICAI.

The present case is quite different. In the present case Ms. Monica has stated that she is forced to do personal works and not getting any work exposure and not getting any stipend. This is a clear violation of clause 1 and 2 of part 2 of the second schedule to the CA Act, 1949 and this is a case of exploitation of student. So she has all the rights to take transfer on the basis of non payment of stipend and exploitation and she can also make a complaint against her principal and also file a suit in the high court. IMoreover, ndian Penal Code also comes into play wherever the case involves exploitation of Indian Citizens. The CA Act is not only the sole governing statute in the field of CA. Thus, her all the rights are reserved in the present case and she can very well take transfer, file complaint and file suit also.

Complain to ICAI and get transfer on the grounds of non-payment of stipend. This will be helpful only if your CA is not paying stipends at all or paying irregularly, it will be little troublesome if he pays monthly and but takes back in cash or so..

Recently i had taken transfer from a firm where the principal is so harsh with negative attitude that he has almost destroyed my career. He didn't give us the overtime and exam days leave that actually is to be given as per the articleship rules. But, when we have talked about this to him he directly said that he has no concern with the ICAI rules and procedures. And if we don't follow as per his rules he will never ever sign our form 109 and destroy our career. Is this the great institute all talk about??
