Hey All!

We know that ICAI says that total hours spent in articleship by an article should be 35 hours per week..

But do all C.A.s and C.A. firms follow it?

Aren't articles made to do extra work and sometimes latenight sittings?

Yah............its 100% true that no firm follows such rules and articles are pressurised to work for late nights.........................in some cases even on sundays.....................the ICAI needs to look after this............................The stipend level needs to be increased

Firms follow Double-Standards....

They forget the rule for the 35 Hours per week....but they are ''Oh So Sincere'' abt the Rule for the Max. Leaves during the 3yrs....

This is Situation Every where

But you have to talk to your boss that, "if you are doing work for more hours you are going to count that time as hours worked by you and for that you can claim extra leaves that may be for any reason."
