To address the rejection of your Form 108 due to missing leave details, you need to submit a formal request for rejection to your Regional Office (RO) through the Self Service Portal (SSP). Once the RO rejects the current (incorrect) form, you can re-file a corrected version.
Steps to Resolve the Rejection
-
Draft a Request Letter: Prepare a formal letter addressed to your respective Regional Office. This letter must clearly state:
-
Your Name and Registration Number.
-
The reason for the request (e.g., "Request to reject Form 108 due to an inadvertent omission of leave details").
-
A request for the RO to reject the current form so you can submit a rectified version.
-
Ensure Signatures: The letter must be signed by both you (the articled assistant) and your Principal.
-
Submit via SSP: Log in to the ICAI Self Service Portal (SSP). You will need to upload this signed request letter under the appropriate section to trigger the rejection process.
-
Re-file Form 108: Once the RO processes your request and the status of your Form 108 is updated to "Rejected" in the portal, you will be able to fill out and submit a new Form 108. Ensure you include all relevant details, including the accurate leave record, in this new submission.
Important Tips
-
Verification: Ensure that all data in your new form, including the number of leaves taken and the training period, is consistent with your office records.
-
Support: If you face technical issues within the portal or if the form remains stuck in "Requested" or "Pending" status for an extended period, raise a ticket via the ICAI E-Sahayata portal for specific guidance.
-
Record Keeping: Always maintain a copy of the signed request letter and any communication from the RO for your future reference.
Summary: To fix your rejected Form 108, you must submit a formal request letter—signed by both you and your Principal—via the ICAI Self Service Portal (SSP) asking the Regional Office to reject the incorrect form. Once rejected, you can submit a new, corrected Form 108 with the proper leave details.
