This discussion clarifies whether CA Articles are permitted to engage in stock trading during their articleship. While investing in shares for capital gains is generally allowed, the primary concern is managing trading hours (9:00 AM - 3:30 PM) which clash with typical office timings (10:00 AM - 6:00 PM). It's suggested that trading can be done before or during lunch breaks to avoid conflicts.

But how can I manage to be engaged in stock trading in the regular trading hours(which is 9:00 PM TO 3:30 PM) if suppose my office timings are 10:00 AM TO 6:00 PM?
Do I need any special approval if the office timings for articleship are clashing?
