Yes it does. See NOC 1111. In the lead statement it clearly stats that.
Thanks for your reply. can you suggest me on my situation here?
I joined CA in 2012, simultaneously completed my B.com from Delhi University in 2014. Completed my CA inter both groups in 2013. Did my articleship from 11/2013 to 11/2016. even after my articleship continued to work in the same CA firm for some time. due to some family situation came back to my home town, so didn't give my CA Final Exam till today (10/09/2021). However, I got my Accounting Technician Certificate from ICAI in 2018. During 2017-2019 when I was in my home, I have been providing Accounting services, and return filling services to general public on my own (working as self employed. I have also been filling my income tax returns since 2016. in 2019 I cleared a competitive exam and joined in a PSU. now i also have 2 years work experience in that PSU also.
can I claim my articleship work experience because -
a. there was a gap of approx 2.5 yrs between my articleship completion and job and but during that gap I was self employed.
b. I have never given my CA Final Exams instead I took ATC certificate from ICAI
c. My current job is different CA profile. though I still provide bookkeeping and tax services to clients.
How can I show my work experience
