Age is Not a Bar for Growth: Tara Chand Agarwal to be Person Becoming CA at age of 71

The story of Tara Chand Agarwal of Jaipur, who became a chartered accountant at the age of 71 becomes an aspiration to many people. His story proves that age is not a bar for a person's growth and development.

While assisting his granddaughter in getting ready for her own tests, he reportedly discovered his interest in CA after retiring from the former State Bank of Bikaner & Jaipur (SBBJ). His tale is really motivating and shows us that there is always a way when there is a will. If you are enthusiastic about something, you can learn at any age.

His accomplishment was just brought to light by the results of the May 2025 Chartered Accountancy exam, which included this inspirational anecdote. His accomplishments are being hailed as evidence that "age is just a number" in terms of learning and achieving one's goals.

Around nine in the morning yesterday, the CA result was revealed. To save students time, the results of the three exams—the CA Final, Inter, and Foundation—were announced on the same day after many years.

The results for all three tests appear to have been activated earlier than planned, at approximately 9:15 AM IST, despite the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India's (ICAI) initial announcement that the CA Final and Intermediate results will be released by 2 PM and the Foundation results by 5 PM. Indeed, students would have avoided a great deal of waiting time if this had been done.

The fact that the results for all three levels were made public on the same day is noteworthy; this is a big move that will probably help students a lot.
