I am a PCC student and cleared 1st group, I have started my articleship in Oct 2006 and my tenure of 3 & half year of articleship completes on April 2010., and i will be eligible for May 2010 Final Exam attempt., but i have taken leaves of about 260 days(i.e. aprrox 3 months in excess of leave eligible) including exam leaves till date.,

my question is that wether my final attempt will be postponed to Nov 2010 if my principal gives me extension of 3 months or i will be eligible to attempt for May 2010.

If your leave exceeds permisible limit then to that extent you need to serve more and 260 daysis not aprrox 3 months it's Appx 9 months

Well, it is NOT 9 months.. in 3.5 years of articleship, we are allowed leave of 180 days exact...So the extension comes to around 2.5 months... As per the ICAI rules, if you have to extend your articles term, you can give CA Final attempt in November, 2010 not earlier...
