transfer of articleship

This query is : Resolved 

08 September 2009 in the latest news letter institute has said that 'due to the hardship faced by the student institute has introduced amensty scheme & now every student can take onlyone transfer during their articleship period without any reason & all pending application for transfer upto 11th july will be passed'


is this true?

please clear my confusion

now if suppose i apply for transfer of articleship, will i able to get transfer?

09 September 2009 I hope so as i also heard abt it.

02 August 2025 Yes, the ICAI did introduce an **amnesty scheme** for transfer of articleship a while back, which allowed students to take **one transfer during their entire articleship period without providing any reason**. This was specifically to help students facing genuine hardships.

Here are the key points about that scheme:

* It applied **only once per student** during the entire articleship.
* The **transfer could be done without giving any specific reason**, making it easier.
* The scheme was applicable for all transfer applications **pending up to a certain date** (you mentioned 11th July).
* ICAI decided to approve all pending applications under this scheme.

**If you apply under this scheme before it expired, yes, you could get a transfer without giving a reason.**

**However, this was a temporary scheme** introduced at that time and may no longer be in effect. The current rules have stricter grounds for transfer after the first year, such as medical reasons, relocation of parents, misconduct, or other justifiable reasons with proof.

**What you should do now:**

* Check the **latest ICAI notifications** or contact your regional office to confirm if the amnesty scheme is still applicable.
* If it is expired, you will need to follow the standard procedure for transfer and provide valid reasons as per ICAI regulations.
* If you are within the first year of articleship, you can transfer without ICAI permission but with your principal’s consent.
