Leave taken during Extension period of Articleship

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

A CA trainee is facing a dilemma regarding their articleship extension period. They need to take a 2.5-month leave for the CA Final May '25 exams during their 4.5-month extension. The main question is whether they will need to serve the remaining extension period only, or the remaining extension plus the leave period after returning from exams. This also extends to a scenario where 2 months of extension are left and a 2.5-month leave is taken.

10 January 2025 Dear sir,

I have to serve 4.5 months of extension starting from Jan 15 2025.
However i have to appear for CA Final May' 25 attempt which will be my second attempt. If I continue to finish my extension i wont be able to appear in May' 25 . So I have applied for 2.5 months leave from Feb 15. I will have been completed 1month extension out of the 4.5months resulting in 3.5months yet to be served. My confusion is whether after coming back from my exam leave i have to serve:
1. Remaining 3.5months only or
2. 3.5 + 2.5month(Leave taken for may'25) = 6months

21 January 2025 Also there's another query in line with the same asked above,
If extension left to be served is for 2 months and if leave is taken within that period for 2.5months for exams, post resumption how much period is to be served now:
a. 2 months which was pending
b. 2.5 months (leave taken) + 2 months extension which was pending = 4.5 months
