20 July 2025 If you submitted Form 119 on 26 August 2016 and haven’t received a reply from either your principal or ICAI for over a month, here are the steps you should take:

🔁 Step-by-Step Action Plan:
1. Follow up with Your Principal (Immediate Step)

Send a polite reminder email/letter to your principal, referring to your earlier communication.
Mention the date you submitted Form 119 and ask if they can issue or sign Form 108 (Articleship Completion Certificate).
Keep a record of all correspondence (email or courier tracking).
2. Contact ICAI Regional Office

Visit or call the regional branch where your registration is maintained.
Share your Form 119 acknowledgment copy and explain that you've had no response from your principal.
Ask them for guidance on the next steps or alternate procedure (such as submission with a declaration and supporting documents).
3. Write to ICAI via E-Sahaayataa

Raise a grievance on E-Sahaayataa under the Articleship Module.
Mention all details:
Date of submission of Form 119
Copies sent
No response from principal
Request for ICAI’s intervention
4. Prepare for Alternative Proof

If your principal does not respond at all, ICAI may accept a self-declaration with:

Copy of Form 119
Postal proof (speed post/registered post receipts)
Any available work diary, correspondence with the firm, or salary slips to demonstrate training period
💡 ICAI's Likely Response:
If your principal fails to respond within 30 days, ICAI may process Form 108 or allow completion based on your declaration and proof, especially if you followed procedure properly.

✅ Tip:
Attach all communication proofs and documents when following up with ICAI — they are more likely to act when full information is provided.
