The admit card is a mandatory document for entry into the examination centre.

Students must carry a clear colour printout of the hall ticket on every exam day along with a valid photo identity proof.

Digital copies stored on mobile phones or other devices will not be accepted under any circumstances.

The release of the admit cards comes after the completion of the registration process, which concluded in November 2025.

With this step completed, candidates have now entered the final stage of preparation for one of the most important professional examinations in the country.

The CA examinations will be conducted between January 5 and January 24, 2026, across more than 100 cities in India and nine international centres.

For CA Final, Group I papers are scheduled on January 5, 7 and 9, 2026, while Group II papers will be held on January 11, 13 and 16, 2026.

Most papers will be conducted in the afternoon session, with exam timings mentioned clearly on the admit card along with reporting time.

Candidates can download their hall tickets by visiting the official ICAI e services website and clicking on the relevant CA admit card link for January 2026.

After logging in using the user ID and password, candidates may be required to verify their registered mobile number.

Once the admit card appears on the screen, all details such as name, photograph, exam dates and test centre address should be checked carefully before downloading and printing the document.

In case of any discrepancy in the admit card, students are advised to contact ICAI authorities immediately for correction.

No candidate will be allowed to enter the examination hall without a valid printed admit card issued by ICAI.

Students are also advised to visit their allotted test centre at least once before the exam date to avoid last minute confusion.

With the admit cards now available, aspirants should focus on revision, mock tests and proper planning to ensure a smooth examination experience in January 2026.
