ICAI CA September 2025 final, intermediate exams postponed in Kathmandu amid Nepal protests

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has postponed the Chartered Accountants (CA) Final and Intermediate exams scheduled from September 11 to 15 in Kathmandu, Nepal. The decision has been taken in view of the ongoing protests in the country.

The revised exam dates for ICAI CA final, intermediate will be notified later on the official website at icai.org. The institute has clarified that this change applies only to the Kathmandu centre. The examination schedule for all other cities, centres, and countries remains unchanged as per the announcement issued on May 30, 2025.

Protests in Nepal began after the government banned 26 social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, citing regulatory non-compliance. The move triggered widespread anger among youth, who saw it as censorship, and soon escalated into large-scale demonstrations highlighting corruption, unemployment, and governance issues.
