Respected Sir, Please guide me regarding article ship exemption as I was student of ICAI registered under previously PE-II in 2005 & in IPCC in 2012 (conversion entry) Course but due to some issue at that time I can't complete course but now I am interested and want to continue CA course with my service in Govt Organisation in the Finance and Accounts Dept. working since last 9 years. I also have an experience of finance and account field after completion of my graduation in Private organisation BASIX/Shriram Chits/CA Office with experience certificates in hand. Please aware me about the procedure to get exemption for article ship by considering my experience in finance and accounts/audit/taxation after graduation

No Work Experience Exemption: Practical experience in corporate or government finance departments cannot replace the mandatory articleship period.
Mandatory Training: Articleship must be served under a practicing Chartered Accountant to meet ICAI's curriculum requirements.
Industrial Training: If you later qualify for industrial training (which occurs during the final year of articleship), this must also be done under an ICAI-approved organization and framework, not as a retroactive substitute for years already worked.
