Am i eligible for appearing in exam for nov.14, if i have joint my articleship from 27/02/2012. How many days of leave can i avail till nov'14 including exam leave.
A trainee earns leave at the rate of one–sixth of the period actually served by him. Leave due is ordinarily granted, if reasonable notice has been given by the trainee to his MIT / Principal.
In order to prepare for the examinations of the Institute, a trainee is granted leave for a period of 2 months or to the extend of leave due, whichever is less. However, the trainee should make an application for such leave at least 15 days in advance. The days on which a trainee appears for the examination conducted by the Institute (including intervening holidays) are counted as a period on duty.
As per Regulation 50 of the CA Regulation, a student will be eligible to appear in final exam after completing of 30 months of article ship.
As per this your 30 months will expire on October, 2014 and in that case you will not be eligible to take excess leave, if u want to appear in Nov, 2014 attempt.
