CA final, intermediate exams deferred

Amid rising hostilities between India and Pakistan in the aftermath of Operation Sindoor , Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has suspended the ongoing Chartered Accountancy Final and Intermediate examinations that were being held this month. This preventive action aims to safeguard students' welfare, authorities said.

The examination series, which commenced in early May, had attracted roughly 4.3 lakh registrants across Foundation, Intermediate, and Final levels. Approximately 3.5 lakh candidates were participating in Intermediate and Final exams . When the suspension was announced, two Final course papers and three Intermediate course papers remained to be conducted.
