Indian Chartered Accountants Institute modifies CA May 2025 Intermediate and Final exam schedules amid escalating India-Pakistan disputes
Chilling out, huh? No problem! Let's chat about the recently updated exam schedule for CA Inter and CA Final exams. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) rerouted the dates, as the initial ones were canned due to the heated India-Pakistan tensions. So, here's the juicy deets!
The Deets on the New Dates:
The CA May 2025 Final and Intermediate exams are all set to go down from May 16 to May 24. The earlier dates, scheduled from May 9 to May 14, 2025, went out the window, and thank goodness, since they've been replaced with some safer ones.
Exam Schedule Breakdown:
Here's a quick rundown of the tweaked schedule for each exam:
- CA Final Examination (Group II) and INTT-AT papers will now see Final Paper 5 (Indirect Tax Laws) and INTT-AT Paper 1 (Transfer Pricing) on May 16, instead of May 10. Final Paper 6 (Integrated Business Solutions) and INTT-AT Paper 2 (International Tax - Practice) have moved from May 13 to May 18.
- CA Intermediate Examination (Group II) will feature Paper 4 (Cost and Management Accounting) on May 20 instead of May 9, Paper 5 (Auditing and Ethics) on May 22 instead of May 11, and Paper 6 (Financial Management and Strategic Management) on May 24 instead of May 14.
- Luckily, the CA Foundation exams will still be going ahead as previously scheduled on May 15, 17, 19, and 21, 2025.
Putting the Nitty-Gritty Details Out There:
- The locations for the exams (exam centers) will remain unchanged. Also, the exam times – either 2 PM to 5 PM or 2 PM to 6 PM – will stay the same as the original timetable.
- Candidates, dig up your already-issued admit cards. Yes, you guessed it! They'll still be valid for the new dates.
- ICAI wants to remind you that if any day of the examination coincides with a public or local holiday, there'll be no change in the examination schedule. So keep an eye out, stay tuned to the official ICAI website for updates, and don't miss any of their notices!
Why the Change, You Ask?
Well, the postponement comes from the escalating security concerns amid the India-Pakistan conflict, especially affecting examinations in sensitive cities. And ICAI's got your back, ensuring the safety and security of candidates during these tense times [1][2][3][4][5].
Stay tight, folks! The new CA May 2025 Final and Intermediate exams are coming your way! And remember - official details only from the ICAI website to keep you abreast of updates. Peace out!
