New Delhi, September 2, 2025: The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) postponed the CA Final and Intermediate exams that were set for September 3 and 4, 2025, at several centres in Punjab and Jammu City. Continuous heavy rainfall and floods forced the decision, as unsafe travel conditions threatened the safety of candidates.

The postponement covers exam centres in:
- Punjab: Amritsar, Bathinda, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Mandi Gobindgarh, Pathankot, Patiala, Sangrur

All other exam centres across India will conduct exams as per the original schedule.
