02 August 2025 Regarding your query on **transfer of articleship based on "Working Parents" criteria**, here’s what I can help you with:

### 1. Does your situation qualify under "Working Parents" criteria?

* Typically, the ICAI allows transfer of articleship if your **parents** (father or mother) are working in another city and you want to move to that city to be with them.
* In your case, you are **dependent on your elder brother**, not your parents.
* Unfortunately, **dependency on a sibling is generally NOT covered** under the "Working Parents" criteria for transfer.
* However, you can try to apply on **compassionate grounds** or **financial hardship**, but these are considered on case-by-case basis.

### 2. What you can do:

* You may write an application explaining your situation clearly.
* Attach documentary proof such as:

* Your brother’s employment proof in Pune (appointment letter, salary slips).
* Your stipend details showing it is insufficient.
* Any other financial dependency proof.
* Submit this to the ICAI Board of Studies (BOS) or the regional office with a request for transfer.

### 3. Procedure for applying transfer of articleship:

* Fill the **Transfer Form** available on the ICAI website under student services.
* Attach the required documents and a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from your current Principal.
* The acceptance from the new Principal in Pune is also needed.
* Submit the complete application either online or at your regional office.

### Summary:

* "Working Parents" criteria **usually does not include siblings.**
* You can request transfer citing **financial hardship/dependency on brother** but approval is not guaranteed.
* Attach strong documentary proof and follow formal transfer procedure with ICAI.
