03 August 2025 Hey! Let’s break down your CA Final attempt eligibility based on what you shared:

You cleared CA Inter on 08-Feb-2020.

Started Articleship on 17-Mar-2020.

Took termination on 24-Sep-2020 (so approx 6 months completed).

Rejoined another firm on 04-Nov-2020.

Took only 3 days leave during articleship.

Key points for CA Final eligibility:
Articleship must be completed for 3 years.

The 3 years start from the date of joining Articleship.

Period of termination/break is generally not counted toward the 3 years.

Your calculation:
Joined first firm: 17-Mar-2020

Terminated: 24-Sep-2020 (about 6 months)

Break: 25-Sep-2020 to 03-Nov-2020 (~40 days break, not counted)

Joined second firm: 04-Nov-2020

So, your total articleship period will be 3 years from 17-Mar-2020 plus the break (40 days break excluded).

Expected completion of articleship = 17-Mar-2023 + 40 days break → approx end of April 2023.

Final attempt eligibility:
You become eligible for CA Final only after completion of 3 years articleship.

So, your earliest attempt will be May 2023, not November 2022.

In short:
No, you can’t appear for CA Final in Nov 2022. You will be eligible for May 2023 attempt.
