Candidates who were previously unable to apply for any reason will now have the opportunity to do so from August 1 to August 5, 2026. Applications must be submitted online. Candidates are advised to keep the necessary documents ready in advance and to download and preserve the confirmation page after completing the application.

ICAI has announced that the application window will reopen from August 1 to August 5, 2026. Previously, the deadline for applications without a late fee was July 19, while applications with a late fee of ₹600 were accepted until July 22.
