However, for those unable to meet this deadline, an extended application period will be open till March 17, 2025, with a late fee of ₹600 or $10 applicable. This flexibility allows students additional time to complete their applications while emphasizing timely submissions to avoid additional charges.
Filling out the application form is a pretty straightforward process. The candidate will need to login at the website of ICAI using their login ID which he will have got while making a registration on his number and password. The student then goes ahead and gets in touch with “Apply Now,” providing all necessary information, filling forms, and finally making a payment of an application fee using an online gateway for payment. Upon successful payment, the system will generate a PDF receipt of the application, which candidates are advised to download and save for future reference.
The exams will follow a set duration depending on the paper. The CA Foundation Papers 1 and 2 are scheduled from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, while Papers 3 and 4 will be conducted from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM.
