The institute said this was due to confusion arising from the change in the examination cycle. Considering the transition phase, the ICAI Council has decided, as a special one-time measure, to reopen the online examination application facility.

Accordingly, the online examination application window for the Chartered Accountants Final Examination, November 2026, will be reopened from August 1, 2026 (11:00 AM) to August 5, 2026 (11:59 PM).
