06 October 2015 sir, i have completed articleship on 31-08-2015. With a total leave of 117 days.
principal didnt pay me regular stipend.during the first year he issued 2 Cheques .second year nothing.and third year they deposited 4 cheques in my bank account.
when ever i asked for stipend he was repeating that he will settle the stipend amount very soon.
After completion of articleship i submittd form 119,to institute and principal Stating that no monthly stipend.
Now principal is compelling me to sign a letter stating that i have received the entire stipend amount,other wise they wont send form 108.
please guide me what should i do ,and is the principal statement valid?

04 November 2026 The principal's demand to sign a false receipt for unpaid stipend is invalid and unethical. You should refuse to sign the coerced letter, preserve your bank records as proof, and immediately lodge a formal complaint with ICAI to secure your Form 108.
