ICAI Confirms September 2025 CA Exams as per Schedule

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) issued Important Announcement No. 13-CA (EXAM)/SEPTEMBER/2025/III dated 5th September 2025, confirming that the Chartered Accountants Examinations will be conducted strictly as per the timetable already announced. The Examination Department advised students to carefully check the schedule and report to their allotted centres on time.

This circular follows two earlier notifications. The first, No. 13-CA (EXAM)/SEPTEMBER/2025 dated 30th May 2025, set out the full examination timetable. According to that schedule:

• Final Course: Group I on 3rd, 6th & 8th September; Group II on 10th, 12th & 14th September 2025.

• Intermediate Course: Group I on 4th, 7th & 9th September; Group II on 11th, 13th & 15th September 2025.

• Foundation Course: 16th, 18th, 20th & 22nd September 2025.

The May circular also mentioned that no exam would be held on 5th September due to Milad-un-Nabi, a gazetted Central Government holiday, and clarified that exams would not be rescheduled even if any date coincided with other holidays.

The second, No. 13-CA (EXAM)/SEPTEMBER/2025/II dated 2nd September 2025, partially modified this timetable by postponing exams on 3rd and 4th September in Punjab (Amritsar, Bathinda, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Mandi Gobindgarh, Pathankot, Patiala, Sangrur) and Jammu City due to heavy rainfall and floods. ICAI assured that revised dates for these centres would be announced later, while exams elsewhere remained unaffected.

Through its latest 5th September announcement, ICAI has now reaffirmed that except for these postponed papers in Punjab and Jammu, the examinations will go ahead without any changes. All other particulars from the May notification remain valid. The Institute has once again urged candidates to rely only on updates published on its official website, www.icai.org.
