It ensures that while the trade focus shifts, all other terms and conditions of the original agreement remain in effect under the Apprentices Act, 1961.
About this template
What is this template?
This is a supplemental deed specifically for substituting the designated trade in an existing apprenticeship relationship. It is not a new apprenticeship agreement but an amendment that preserves the original terms of a Principal Agreement. It contains a specific Proficiency clause to justify the change in training focus.
When should you use it?
Use this when an apprentice demonstrates proficiency in their current trade and both parties agree to transition training to a different trade under the Apprentice Act 1961. Use a standard Amendment Agreement instead if you are changing non-trade terms like stipend or duration.
