02 August 2025 Hey! Since your principal is okay with the transfer and has agreed to give you NOC, your case looks good.

### ICAI Transfer Approval on Family Relocation Grounds

* Yes, ICAI **allows transfer of articleship** if the reason is **relocation of family to another city** (typically more than 50 km distance). This is a recognized ground for transfer.
* You need to submit a formal request to ICAI stating the reason along with:

* A **No Objection Certificate (NOC)** or consent from your current principal (Form 109 signed).
* Proof of family relocation, such as:

* Rent agreement or sale deed of new house in the new city.
* Transfer order of your parents’ job (if applicable).
* Any official document proving the family’s move to a different city.

### Steps to follow:

1. **Write a request letter** to ICAI explaining the reason (family shifting).
2. Attach:

* Form 109 signed by your principal.
* Proof of relocation (rent agreement/transfer order, etc.).
3. Submit these documents to your regional ICAI office or through the online portal if applicable.
4. Wait for approval. Usually, it’s granted on such genuine grounds.

### Summary:

* Transfer on family relocation is allowed.
* Submit signed Form 109 + proof of relocation + application to ICAI.
* After approval, join the new firm or continue articleship in the new city.
