Actually, it will depend on the name of the new firm that you are establishing. ICAI has released rules for the same and I'll advice you to have a look at them.

Following are the scenarios possible:

  1. Name of New Firm: AB & Co. - In such cases the date of establishment regarding senority will be from date of old senior firm i.e. from 2010.
  2. Name of New Firm: XYZ&Co - It will be from the date of registration of the new firm irrespective of the senority of old firms i.e. 2018
  3. Name of new Firm: A & Co or B & Co - Then it will be their respective date i.e. 2010 or 2016

Also, you would be required to file an application to the ICAI for the approval of the same.
