Good news for CA aspirants! The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has reopened the CA Final November 2024 exam form submission window. If you missed out earlier, you now have a second chance to submit your application.
Here’s everything you need to know about the form submission process and deadlines, explained in a simple, easy-to-understand way.
New Submission Window
ICAI has reopened the CA Final exam form submission window due to popular demand from students. The new window will be open from September 11, 2024, at 11:00 AM to September 12, 2024, until 11:59 PM. But keep in mind, this time there is a late fee of ₹600 (or US$10).
Initially, the exam form submission window had closed on August 23, 2024, but students across social media asked ICAI for an extension due to unforeseen issues. Listening to the students’ concerns, ICAI decided to give one more opportunity.
Quick Recap of the Original Timeline
- Form Opened: August 7, 2024
- Without Late Fee Deadline: August 20, 2024
- With Late Fee Deadline: August 23, 2024
- Correction Window: August 24-26, 2024
If you already filled out the form by these dates, you’re all set. But if you missed out, now is the perfect time to act!
Why This Window is Short?
You might be wondering why ICAI has shortened the form submission window from the usual 28 days to just 17 days this time. The change was made to align with the new CA exam schedule, where CA Foundation and Intermediate exams will now be held three times a year starting from September 2024.
