Statutory context

From May 2026 CA Final is held twice a year — May and November only; the January window is gone. Practical-training branches use the 30 Apr 2026 / 31 Oct 2026 / 31 Oct 2025 cut-offs, with excess leave counted toward minimum duration. SPOM applicability is the ten-rule matrix including Old-Final Paper 4 / Paper 5 waivers. Exam gates and membership gates are listed separately. Cut-offs for sittings after May 2026 are derived from ICAI's published pattern and labelled as derived. Confirm the live ICAI announcement before you file an exam form.
