The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has officially postponed the CA Final and Intermediate exams scheduled for September 3 and 4, 2025, in multiple centres across Punjab and Jammu City. This rescheduling follows heavy rains and severe flooding, which have caused widespread disruption and raised safety concerns for candidates and exam staff.
Which Centres Are Affected?

ICAI emphasized that postponing exams was necessary to prioritize the safety and welfare of all stakeholders. It also confirmed that apart from these affected centres, all other exam schedules remain unchanged, maintaining smooth functioning across the nation.
Exam Schedule Overview
- The CA Final exams (Group 1 & 2) and Intermediate exams have defined schedules starting from early September through mid-September, with specifics on timings and durations published by ICAI.
- Candidates will receive extra reading time, ensuring fairness in examination conditions.
While postponements may cause temporary anxiety, the priority remains clear: Safety comes First.
