NEW DELHI: Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has allowed the provisional registration for Class 10 students in CA Foundation exams. The Institute got the approval of the Government of India for changing the 25E, 25F & 28F of Chartered Accountants Regulations, 1988

ICAI had submitted a proposal for amending the relevant regulations of the Chartered Accountants Regulations, 1988 w.r.t. “Change in Entry Requirement” after receiving various requests from the stakeholders.

CA. Atul Kumar Gupta, President, ICAI said “The Institute has recently got the approval of Government of India for amending the Regulations 25E, 25F & 28F of Chartered Accountants Regulations, 1988 which now enables the candidate to provisionally register in the Foundation Course of ICAI after passing Class 10 examinations. However, provisional admission to Foundation course will only be regularized once the candidate clears Class 12 exams.”

President, ICAI further added “The basic objective behind the proposal was to allow students to provisionally register in Foundation Course after passing the Class X examination. This will help the students to prepare for the Foundation course while pursuing Class XI & XII and thus students would have ample time to update their knowledge & acquire requisite techniques to appear & pass CA Foundation with flying colors.ICAI also offers free online classes to students of Foundation which can be accessed anytime, anywhere.”

After appearing in the Class 12 exam in February/March, the students would then be eligible to appear in Foundation Examination to be held in May/June.

• Complete four months study period while pursuing Class XI & XII
• Appear in Foundation Examination in the month of May/June immediately after appearing in Class XII examination.
