The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) on 30 August 2020 released a notification stating that candidates who have registered for the CA intermediate courses via direct entry route admission will be given relaxation to appear for the examination in May next year.

In the released notification, ICAI has also highlighted that the relaxation will only be for candidates who have registered provisionally for CA Intermediate course before July 31.

For granting the relaxation, ICAI has informed that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the already registered candidates were not able to take the exam this year. Following this, candidates would be allowed to appear May 2021 CA Intermediate examination.

A documented proof will be required by the candidates as an eligibility criterion for the CA Intermediate course through Direct Entry Route as various universities are yet to conduct the final year examinations.
