The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has postponed the remaining papers of the Chartered Accountants (CA) Final, Intermediate, and Post Qualification Course (PQC) Exams.  

Originally, the exams were scheduled from 9 to 14 May 2025. 

The decision follows rising tensions between India and Pakistan, impacting candidates, particularly in 12 high-alert cities.  

The affected cities, as reported by local media, include Amritsar, Bhatinda, Bhuj, Bikaner, Chandigarh, Jalandhar, Jammu, Jodhpur, Ludhiana, Pathankot, Sri Ganganagar and Srinagar.  

These areas are currently experiencing heightened security measures, such as blackouts and movement restrictions, especially around Jammu and Kathua in the Jammu division. 

“In partial modification of the Institute’s important announcement No. 13-CA (EXAM)/2025 dated 13 January 2025, it is announced for general information that in view of the tense and security situation in the country, the remaining papers of Chartered Accountants Final, Intermediate and Post Qualification Course Examinations [International Taxation – Assessment Test (INTT AT)] May 2025 from 9 May 2025 to 14 May 2025, stand postponed,” the ICAI’s official statement read.

The institute has announced that revised exam dates will be communicated later.  

Candidates are encouraged to regularly visit the ICAI website for updates.  

Recently, the ICAI invited feedback on the CA Final, Intermediate, Foundation, and Post Qualification Course – INTT-AT exams conducted earlier this month. 

Submissions must include the candidate’s name, registration number, roll number, email ID, and mobile number for validation.  

The ICAI’s examination department will review the feedback to maintain “high standards” in its examination process. 

Recently, the ICAI partnered with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to combat corporate frauds.  

The ICAI will assist SEBI by drafting a research document aimed at identifying and addressing financial fraud. This report will provide insights and strategies to help the market regulator tackle fraudulent activities in the financial sector.
