Hello all!!

I know the topic is quite weird and unique but the fact my friend is suffering from...

His articleship completed including excess leaves...but his principal is not ready to sign form 108 and further extending his term..

He compels him to do more and more work and even personal work and literally torture him due to which he is very upset and still not able to clear his 2nd grp...of ipcc..

He is in great trouble...broken..as his life is ruled by his principal who was supposed to be his mentor..

Can anyone plzz suggest what actions can he take..

B coz as far as i know an article cant take any action against his/her principal except in case of non payment of stipend and he is getting it regularly..

This is really pathetic.. Article can write and submit the complaint with the ICAI for such behaviour.. there is no reason for not signing form 108.. even if that article assistant have excell leaves pending...

The Form 108 needs to be mandatorily signed by the principal in all circumstances.

If the principal refuses to sign Form 108 witin a period of 15 days then fill form 119 and submit it to decentralized ICAI branch near you.

Hi Sofia,

Firstly the question is neither weird nor unique. This is an age old problem of some PRINCIPALS. and I'm sure it will continue for years to come. Unfortunately our institute is a very funny body , often powerless when it comes to articles otherwise everywhere they display their hollow powers. Just like our courts. Wish your friend luck. Hope he gets justice.

Well honestly half of such cases dont require permissions / approval coz once a person gets complete stipend month on month its so obvious that he / she has served entire 3 years or whatever.

Thanks for bringing it up here

Hello Dharmesh...

I totally agree with you on this

Yeah u are right..

But principal s signature on form 108 is extremely imp..as it is the principal who is certifying the completion and not the article..

Well i and his all other friends are trying our best to give him justice...and hope with the help of people like you and others here will surely succeed..

Most welcome and thank you for your valuable time and reply..

Hi Sofia,

Yeah princi's sign is required. By that i meant that if the case is taken up with the insti then they can just see the stipend history and come to know in a flaash that the person has served the required period. Just a thought. :)
