Yes, it is generally allowed to request a transfer of Articleship even if you have previously re-registered with the same Principal due to excess leave or other reasons. Here’s how you can proceed:
### Requesting Transfer After Re-registering:
1. **Discuss with Your Current Principal:** - Explain your personal reasons for wanting to transfer your Articleship, despite having re-registered with them previously. - Seek their understanding and support for your decision to transfer.
2. **Find a New Principal:** - Identify a new CA firm or Principal within the same city where you wish to continue your Articleship. - Discuss with potential new Principals and obtain their consent to take you on as an Articleship trainee.
3. **Prepare Transfer Application:** - Complete Form No. 109, the standard form used for requesting transfer of Articleship. - Clearly state your reasons for the transfer and provide details of both your current and proposed new Principals. - Ensure all sections of the form are accurately filled out, including dates and signatures.
4. **Submit to ICAI:** - Submit the completed Form No. 109 along with any required supporting documents to the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). - Use the SSP Portal (Student Skills Portal) or follow specific submission instructions provided by ICAI.
5. **Follow-Up and Compliance:** - Follow up with ICAI to track the status of your transfer application. - Ensure you comply with all timelines and guidelines provided by ICAI for the transfer process.
### Points to Consider:
- **Communication:** Maintain open communication with both your current Principal and the proposed new Principal throughout the transfer process. - **Documentation:** Ensure all necessary documents, including your Articleship agreement and any re-registration details, are in order and ready to be transferred to the new Principal. - **Personal Circumstances:** If your reasons for transfer are personal, provide clear and honest explanations in your application to ICAI.
By following these steps and fulfilling the necessary requirements, you can request a transfer of Articleship within the same city even after re-registering with the same Principal. It’s important to approach the process professionally and ensure all parties involved are informed and supportive of your decision.
