NEW DELHI: A fake notice on new exam dates of the ICAI CA May 2024 is making rounds on social media, claimed chartered accountants and aspirants. The CAs asked aspirants and students to wait for the official ICAI announcement. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) will announce the revised schedule for CA Inter, Final May 2024 exams in the evening today, March 19.

The institute had postponed CA Inter and Final exams for May 2024 to avoid clash with Lok Sabha general elections. The CA Inter May 2024 exams were scheduled from May 3 to May 13 and CA Final group 1 and 2 exams were supposed to be held from May 2 to 12.

Prior to exam postponement, various aspirants and CAs speculated that exams may be deferred by three weeks. The institute had earlier announced that it may postpone the CA May session exams to avoid clash with the 18th Lok Sabha polls this year.
