This discussion explores the feasibility of merging two Chartered Accountant firms, one a proprietorship and the other a partnership, under ICAI guidelines. The key questions revolve around whether one firm can absorb the other to maintain the seniority of the older firm while potentially adopting the newer firm's name. The consensus suggests that absorption is possible, with the older firm absorbing the newer one to preserve seniority, and a name change to that of the absorbed firm can be considered later.
