Lok Sabha Elections 2024 Dates: The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(ICAI) is all set to hold the CA Final and Inter Examinations in May; however, the examination committee might reschedule the May 2024 CA Examination, if the dates of the General Election coincide with the present Examination Schedule. The Election Commission of India(ECI) will announce the poll dates for the Lok Sabha elections 2024 today, March 16. The election dates for the polls will be announced at a press conference scheduled for Saturday at 3 PM.
As Lok Sabha Elections draw nearer, there’s mounting speculation about the potential postponement of the CA Final and Intermediate examinations. Despite this, the official notice from ICAI regarding the postponement of the CA exams is yet to be released. Presently, there is no official notice released from the ICAI regarding the ICAI CA Final, Intermediate Exam Postponement.
The term of the present Lok Sabha ends on June 16 and a new House has to be constituted before that; there is a high possibility that CA May examination 2024 dates might clash with a few voting dates.
