The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ( ICAI ) notified the relaxation deadline for Completion of Orientation Course/IT Training by the CA students undergoing practical training.
The ICAI said that as per current scheme of CA Education & Training, a student is required to complete successfully Integrated Course on Information Technology and Soft Skills (ICITSS) consisting of Information Technology Training (ITT) and Orientation Course (OC) each of 15 days before registering for practical training (Article ship). Due to the prevailing COVID situation, the Institute has given relaxation to such a category of students from time to time who have joined the practical training (article ship) without completing ITT/OC. The Council in its 401st meeting noted that there are few students who are yet to complete ITT/OC before 31st May, 2021.
The Council has decided to extend time to complete the requirement, as a one-time measure, which says that, “the students who are required to complete OC/ITT course until 31st May 2021, can now complete the same on or before 30th June,2021.”
“The students who do not complete their OC/ITT on or before 30th June,2021 as per above extension, their practical training (article ship) period will be extended in direct proportion to the delay in completion of OC/ITT i.e. if they complete their OC/ITT on 25th July,2021 their articleship period will be extended by 25 days and so on,” the ICAI notified.
