I have a query regarding leave. One of my friends articleship started from 1st October 2006 and ends on September 30th 2009. Her final exam attempt is due on November 2008. She availed leave already for 4 months (exactly 104 days excluding Sundays.) from November 2007 to February 2008. How may days can she avail leave in order to prepare for her exams due in Nov 2008 between July 2008 and November 2008 as per ICAI regulations?

Can anyone tell me about leave availing provisions applicable for artlcleship students in detail as per ICAI rules, regulation/guidelines?

Hi Nikhil,

As per Training Guide, what you have told is correct. Whereas, as per ICAI website one can avail leave for a period of only 1/7 of actual period served. I am a bit confused about the leave period and which guidelines do we need to follow either ICAI or Training guide ?

5.4 The articled/audit trainee shall ensure that the total leave taken by him during the period of articleship shall not exceed one-seventh of the total period of actual service, together with leave due under Regulation 59(2)/74(2).
