The ICAI of India has officially announced that the ICAI exam postponed dates will impact the CA Inter and CA Final examinations on September 3 and September 4, 2025, in selected areas.
Constant rain and flooding in some regions of Punjab and Jammu City forced this move, as they created significant logistical and safety issues for both students and exam authorities.
ICAI has also clarified that the delay applies only to some centres in Punjab and Jammu City. All other exam centres in India will follow the original schedule on the 3rd and 4th of September.
Which ICAI Exams Are Postponed?
The ICAI announced on September 2, 2025, that the ICAI Exam had been postponed because of continuous rain and flood conditions in certain regions. It affects the following centres:
- Punjab: Amritsar, Bathinda, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Mandi Gobindgarh, Pathankot, Patiala, Sangrur.
- Jammu & Kashmir: Jammu City
The ICAI exam postponed schedule implies that students taking CA Inter or CA Final in these cities will no longer write their papers on the scheduled dates, 3rd and 4th September 2025.
What Remains Unchanged?
It is important to note:
- In every other city in India, the ICAI Exam will be held exactly as scheduled.
- Aside from the changed dates at the affected centres, all other details announced earlier — such as subjects, exam pattern, and guidelines — remain the same.
