The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has announced that the Chartered Accountants (CA) examinations, put on hold over the rise in India-Pakistan tensions, will now resume from Thursday, May 16.
The institute confirmed that the remainder of the May session will proceed as per the revised timetable, with no further delays anticipated.

In its statement, the ICAI said: “With the security situation now under control, we are confident that the revised schedule will be executed smoothly, ensuring minimal disruption to candidates.”
Candidates are advised to check the ICAI website for any last-minute updates and to ensure their centres are confirmed ahead of their rescheduled exams.
