The ICAI CA September 2026 admit cards (hall tickets) are out. ICAI activated the download link for CA Foundation and CA Intermediate on 14 August 2026. This matters immediately: the exams begin in early September, and your admit card is the document you must carry to the exam hall. Download it now, check every detail, and report any error to ICAI right away rather than on exam day.
ICAI CA September 2026 exam dates
| Course | Exam dates |
|---|---|
| CA Intermediate Group 1 | 1, 3 and 6 September 2026 |
| CA Intermediate Group 2 | 8, 10 and 12 September 2026 |
| CA Foundation | 2, 5, 7 and 9 September 2026 |
CA Intermediate exams begin first (1 September), followed by CA Foundation (2 September). Papers are held in the afternoon session; confirm the exact reporting time and duration for each of your papers on your admit card, as timings can differ by paper.
How to download your admit card
- Go to the ICAI Self Service Portal at eservices.icai.org.
- Select your level (Foundation or Intermediate).
- Log in with your student registration number and password, or your SSP (Self Service Portal) login.
- Open the admit card, review it, and print it.
Print at least two colour copies and keep them with a valid photo ID for exam day.
Check these details right away
On your admit card, verify your name, photograph, roll number, exam centre, exam dates and reporting time. If anything is wrong, contact the ICAI exam helpdesk immediately for a correction. Fixing a discrepancy now is far easier than discovering it at the centre on exam day.
What about CA Final?
CA Final admit cards for the November 2026 sitting will be released closer to those exams. If you are a CA Final student, watch the ICAI Self Service Portal for that download link nearer the time.
While you wait for exam day, keep your concepts sharp with free CA practice questions on Professional Career Club, with instant feedback and no signup needed.
Exam dates are as published by ICAI and can change; always confirm the details on your official admit card and the ICAI portal.
