Dear All,

Can a CA and an Advocate be a partner. If yes, is the partnership deed required to be registered and communicated to the Institute to be updated in ICAI records.

Further, If the Advocate is in practice in another city, can they print their stationary (Letter Head, Visiting Cards, Sign Board) with both addresses i.e. the city where CA is in practice and the city where Advocate is in practice. Would it be violation of clause of CA Regulation Act, if the caretaker of the other office is non-CA (Advocate). Kindly clarify.

Thanks & Regards,

CA Parveen Aggarwal
