CA Final Result November 2026: Date, How to Check and Next Steps

On 10 November 2026, ICAI had not announced a date for the CA Final November 2026 result. Its guidance note for this attempt gives only the month: December 2026 or January 2027. So I counted every CA Final result since December 2021 against the last paper: ICAI took 37 to 56 days, median 49. The November 2026 papers end on Friday 13 November, which puts the expected result between 20 December 2026 and 8 January 2027.

In its last 10 result-date notices, ICAI gave the date only 2 to 7 days ahead, so until that notice the gap from the last paper is the best guide you have.

TL;DR

• Status on 10 November 2026: no date from ICAI. Its guidance note says December 2026 or January 2027.
• Our count of 11 attempts: results came 37 to 56 days after the last paper, median 49.
• Expected window: 20 December 2026 to 8 January 2027. This is our estimate, not an ICAI date.
• You will need your roll number and registration number on result day.
• The next CA Final is in May 2027. There is no January 2027 Final.

When will the CA Final November 2026 result be declared?

Going by all 11 attempts since December 2021, I expect the result between 20 December 2026 and 8 January 2027, most likely in the last week of December or the first week of January:

• The fastest gap, 37 days (May 2026), gives Sunday 20 December 2026.
• Ten of the 11 results came 43 to 56 days after the last paper. That is Saturday 26 December 2026 to Friday 8 January 2027.
• The median of 49 days lands on Friday 1 January 2027.
• November 2024, the only year-end attempt under ICAI's new 2023 scheme (examined from May 2024), took 43 days, which gives 26 December 2026.

One caution: of the four year-end attempts in the count, only November 2024 had its result in December.

Expect the CA Final November 2026 result in late December or early January, and treat any exact date as a guess until ICAI's notice appears.

How long after the last paper does ICAI declare the CA Final result?

Usually about seven weeks. Every CA Final attempt since December 2021:

• December 2021: last paper 19 December 2021, result Thursday 10 February 2022, 53 days.
• May 2022: last paper 29 May 2022, result Friday 15 July 2022, 47 days.
• November 2022: last paper 16 November 2022, result Tuesday 10 January 2023, 55 days.
• May 2023: last paper 17 May 2023, result Wednesday 5 July 2023, 49 days.
• November 2023: last paper 16 November 2023, result Tuesday 9 January 2024, 54 days.
• May 2024: last paper 16 May 2024, result Thursday 11 July 2024, 56 days.
• November 2024: last paper 13 November 2024, result Thursday 26 December 2024, 43 days.
• May 2025: last paper 18 May 2025, result Sunday 6 July 2025, 49 days.
• September 2025: last paper 14 September 2025, result Monday 3 November 2025, 50 days.
• January 2026: last paper 16 January 2026, result Sunday 1 March 2026, 44 days.
• May 2026: last paper 12 May 2026, result Thursday 18 June 2026, 37 days.

Method: the last paper is the final date of ICAI's all-India CA Final schedule, after any all-India reschedule; city-only postponements are left out. The gap is the result date minus that date, in days.

Source: ICAI exam schedule announcements and result announcements, December 2021 to May 2026 (boslive.icai.org, resource.cdn.icai.org); Gradehunt count.

The median gap is 49 days and the mean 48.8. The six attempts under the new scheme had a median of 46.5 days, and May 2026 was the fastest of the 11.

ICAI posted a result-date notice for 10 of these attempts, 2 to 7 days ahead (median 3.5). Results came on a Thursday four times and on a Sunday twice, never on a Saturday. For how many candidates passed in each attempt, see our CA Final pass percentage tracker.

ICAI has taken 37 to 56 days after the last paper, and it gives the exact date a week or less ahead.

How do you check the CA Final result?

ICAI's guidance note for this attempt names icai.nic.in as the result site. Its notice for the May 2026 Final result named caresults.icai.org. Use whichever site ICAI names in its result-date notice.

1. Watch ICAI's BoS examination announcements page for the result-date notice.
2. Open the result site that the notice names and pick the CA Final November 2026 link.
3. Enter your registration number along with your roll number, as every result-date notice ICAI posted for the Final from November 2022 to May 2026 asked. No PIN is needed.
4. Save the marks statement as a PDF or a screenshot.

The time varies. ICAI said "around 11 PM" for November 2024, "around 2.00 PM" for May 2025 and September 2025, and "by the evening" for January 2026 and May 2026. The printed statement of marks comes by post within 4 to 5 weeks; if it does not, write to [email protected].

Keep your roll number and registration number ready, and check the site that ICAI's notice names.

What can you do before the result comes out?

Two things, and the first has a deadline. ICAI is taking observations on the November 2026 Final question papers. Your e-mail to [email protected], or Speed Post to The Additional Secretary (Exams), ICAI Bhawan, Indraprastha Marg, New Delhi 110002, has to reach by 18 November 2026. Give your name, registration number, roll number, e-mail and mobile number.

Second, after each paper, check your answers against the papers on our CA Final November 2026 question papers page while you still remember what you wrote. A rough paper-wise score tells you which group to revise first.

Send any question paper observation by 18 November, then use the weeks before the result to plan.

Passed one group or scored 60 in a paper: what next?

Under ICAI's FAQ on the new scheme, you pass a group with at least 40% in each paper and 50% in that group's aggregate, and groups can be cleared in different sittings. If you wrote all papers of a group and failed it, a paper with 60% or more is exempt for the next three examinations.

Once your marks are out, our CA Final marks calculator shows where you stand group by group.

Groups can be cleared one at a time, and a 60 in a failed group covers that paper for the next three examinations.

Should you apply for a certified copy or verification?

If a paper's marks surprise you, yes. Since the January 2026 results, ICAI charges Rs 100 a paper for a certified copy and Rs 50 a paper for verification. Apply on the SSP at eservices.icai.org within 30 days of the result; there is no revaluation.

In the four CA Final windows I checked (November 2024, September 2025, January 2026 and May 2026), each opened the day after the result and closed 29 or 30 days after it. A 26 December result would put the expected last date around 24 or 25 January 2027. Our certified copy guide has the steps.

Apply within 30 days of the result, at Rs 100 a paper for a certified copy.

When is the next CA Final exam after November 2026?

May 2027. ICAI moved the Final to twice a year, May and November, from May 2026, so there is no January 2027 Final. ICAI had not notified the May 2027 Final dates on 10 November 2026.

The May Final began on 2 May in each of 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. If May 2027 does the same, 2 May 2027 would be 114 to 133 days after the expected result dates of 20 December 2026 to 8 January 2027. Wait for the result before you start revising and you lose the 37 to 56 days after your last paper.

Plan for May 2027 now. The result only tells you which papers to write.

If you are writing in May 2027, start full papers before the result. The Gradehunt CA Final test series has full-length papers for every subject. You write by hand and upload, and your copy is checked within 48 hours of upload with marks and comments.
