A general thumb rule is you have 180 days of leave credit for 3.5 years training period. Any excess is to be served, unless until your CA is super-human.. ;)

@ prakash: Form 107 is required to filled, if you want to continue at the same firm. For switching to another firm, 108 for completion, then 102 and 103 for re-registration.
