ICAI’s Examination Department put out a notice on 14 October. Here is exactly what it says, where to check, and what is still only a rumour.
On 14 October 2026 the Examination Department issued a notice saying that the results of the Chartered Accountants Intermediate Examination held in September 2026 are likely to be declared by the evening of 22 October 2026. The notice is on icai.org, and ICAI also lists it at the top of its announcements page.
| Item | What we found | Status |
|---|---|---|
| CA Intermediate, Sept 2026 | Result likely by the evening of 22 October 2026 | Stated in ICAI’s 14 October notice, worded “likely” |
| Where to check | caresults.icai.org, with Registration Number and Roll Number | Stated in the same notice |
| CA Foundation, Sept 2026 | No date in the ICAI notice or announcements we checked | Not confirmed by ICAI |
“Likely by the evening” is ICAI’s wording, not ours. It is a target, not a promise of an exact minute, so don’t plan anything that depends on a precise time.
ICAI’s notice points candidates to its results portal. Have both numbers ready before the day, because the portal asks for your Registration Number together with your Roll Number.
Roll numbers are on your September admit card. If you can’t find it, our admit card guide covers where it came from. Expect the portal to be slow around release time; refreshing repeatedly doesn’t make the result appear sooner.
ICAI’s 14 October notice is about CA Intermediate only, and we found no Foundation result date on ICAI’s announcements page on 16 October. Several coaching and news sites have quoted expected Foundation dates, but they don’t agree with each other: one table gives 22–24 October while its own text says November, and another says simply “TBA”. A couple of them lean on an unofficial social-media post.
So the honest position is that nobody outside ICAI knows yet. If you sat Foundation in September, watch icai.org and caresults.icai.org for the notice rather than any date you read elsewhere, including this page.
Read the pass rules before you read your marks. ICAI requires 40% in every paper and 50% aggregate to pass a group, and an Intermediate paper where you score 60% or more can earn an exemption. Our passing criteria guide walks through both, so you can tell a near-miss from a real fail.
If a group didn’t go your way, the next sitting is close. ICAI has published the January 2027 schedule, with Intermediate starting on 2 January. We have the paper-wise dates and a note on what ICAI hasn’t confirmed yet. Exam frequency is covered in our exam frequency guide.
Verification and certified copies. After the May 2026 results, ICAI ran a separate application window with fixed fees; our May 2026 guide shows how that worked. We have not seen a notice for the September 2026 window yet, so check icai.org after the result instead of assuming the same dates and fees apply.
Sources: ICAI Examination Department notice dated 14 October 2026 (icai.org/post/exam141026r) and ICAI’s announcements page (icai.org), both read on 16 October 2026. Foundation expectations were checked against Careers360, PW and Business Standard coverage, which we treat as unofficial. CA Grader is not affiliated with ICAI — verify the date, portal and next steps on icai.org and caresults.icai.org before relying on them for exam-day decisions, since ICAI can change timing at short notice.
