only excess leave is unpaid. check the regulation regarding it.

Do not deduct anything atleast for first 2.5 years.

have a talk with your CA.

explain him the regulation.

but i would like to tell that, you first assess whether will you have any excess leave after completing your articleship. If you expects that you will not have any excess leave then ask your CA to not to deduct any amount from your stipent on account of absentism. but at the same time keep counting your total leaves an add it to your exam study leave at later stages.

Probably give him the Prtinout of this regulation, sit whih him and discuss.

He will definatly agrre with it. At last he is bound by the Professional Ethics/ Code of Conduct.
