| Updated On - Jul 31, 2026

ICAI has reopened the CA Final November 2026 exam registration window from August 1 to August 5, 2026. This is a one-time measure for eligible students who missed the earlier deadline. Apply on icai.org before 11:59 PM on August 5.

ICAI CA Final Nov 2026 Exam Form Reopens Aug 1 to 5

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has reopened registration. This applies to the Chartered Accountants (CA) Final November 2026 exam. Eligible candidates can apply on the official portal at icai.org.

The window runs from August 1 to 5, 2026. ICAI's Council has cleared this facility as a special one-time step. The official notice was issued on July 30, 2026.

The notice says some eligible students could not submit forms on time. Confusion around changes in the current examination cycle caused these missed deadlines. The Council has now stepped in with this relief.

Original Registration Timeline for CA Final November 2026

ICAI first opened the examination form window on July 6, 2026. Applications without late fee closed on July 19, 2026. Late-fee submissions ended on July 22, 2026.

The correction window ran from July 23 to 25, 2026. Several eligible students missed these earlier deadlines. The August reopening now covers only such missed cases.

Why This Reopening Matters

ICAI rarely reopens examination forms after the correction phase closes. This one-time step reflects the ongoing transition to the new CA scheme. Students who missed the July 22 deadline get a final chance.
