Thank you for your information. It is very much useful to me.

But can you please tell me the exact requirements to be forwarded to the institute for  termination within one year of Articleship.

just download form 109 and start filling it, u ll automatically get an idea of what are the exact requirements

as you are still in the first year of articles, there is nothing much required other than your principle's signature on form 109

Thank you for your Information.

But what i heard from my friends is dat we have to join in another firm with in One month from the date of Termination otherwise we will lose one attempt for Final.

Is it Correct??????

its not that way. You can take up final exam only during your last six months of articls. Suppose you tak a break after termination and your articleship completion gets delayed and if your present attempt does not fall in the last six months of articls, then your attempt will get delayed. 

Presently you are eligible for May 2015 attempt, meaning by April 2015 you should have completed 2 and half year of articles. So take your date of commencement of articles into consideration and accordingly join in the next firm.

best would be to take transfer after you get placed in another firm.

I agree with Gayathri Sankaran. You should play safe and first find another firm which is ready to allow you in. After that you can terminate your current articleship.

Thank you both for your valuable suggestions.
