28 November 2012 I am pursuing 3rd year of my articleship in Mumbai. I have been staying at my Uncle's home since I have started my articleship. Now my uncle alongwith his family is shifting to his native place (kolkata) permanently. Now I want to transfer my articleship to Kolkata as I cannot continue remaining period of my articleship in Mumbai as I dont have any residence facility over here.
Now on the aforesaid ground, can my remaining articleship period be served in Kolkata?
Please reply.

Thanks in anticipation
