12 April 2010 Hello, please confirm with the branch. There is one clause stating that you cannot take transfer in last 6 months of articleship.
And even as per new rules, you cannot take transfer except having valid reason like, your parents shifting to some other city casue of transfer in job or something.
Please contact your CA branch...
