WHETHER IT'S NECESSARY OR NOT..........DOES NOT MATTER.........

yes, if you go through the notification that was issued by ICAI banning the transfer of articleship, it is quite lengthy - running into multiple pages.

The notification re-emphasises on the working hours & stuff like that.

In the same notification, it has been mentioned that a daily diary of work should be maintained.

Also, once you complete your articleship, the articleship termination form requires you to mention the weeks of work you have performed in various areas - accounting, auditing, tax, management consultancy etc.

So, if you keep a diary, you can give more accurate details.

Yes u hve to as per notification
