Making Exemption's Permanent | CA May 2024 Examinations

Guidelines for Continuing the Exhausted Exemptions – Making Exemption/s Permanent

A detailed video is available  here

1. Those candidates who have secured the Exemption from May 2022 Examination and onwards will have the option for continuing the said exemption immediately on exhaustion of the same.

For example: Candidates who had secured Exemption in May 2022 Exam, which was valid till November 2023 CA Exam, will get the option to continue their exemption on exhaustion of the said exemption after the declaration of November 2023 Results.

Likewise, those candidates who have secured Exemption in November 2022 Exam, which is valid till May 2024 CA Exam, will get the option to continue their exemption on exhaustion of the said exemption after declaration of May 2024 Result and so on.

In other words, till normal exemption exists, permanent exemption option will not be available (as it is disadvantageous for the student)

2. Exemption in any paper/s that has become exhausted upon declaration of the result of immediately succeeding third exam will be shown to the candidates as per dates given in the Important Dates area at https://www.icai.org/post/exam-may-june-2024 . ( 11:00 am of 15th February 2024 to 23:59 pm of 09th March 2024)
3. The Candidate desirous of making the exhausted exemption permanent will have to apply for the same at pe.icaiexam.icai.org by using their SSP loginID and Password.
4. Candidates will get only ONE chance to make exemption permanent ( ie; exemption secured in May 2022 and getting exhausted after conduct of November 2023 exam will be shown before the conduct of May 2024 exam as per specified dates and if not made permanent by the candidate during that period then that exemption will lapse forever)
5. If a candidate has exemption in two papers of the same group , for example , papers 1 and 2 of Group-I that are offered in this window, then, he/she has to apply either for making both exemptions (i.e.; paper-1 & paper-2 in Group-1) permanent or let both the exemption lapse. He/she cannot opt to continue exemption in one paper and let it lapse in the other paper.
6. Upon making an exemption Permanent for any group, the candidate will have to pass the relevant group with at least 50% marks in each of the remaining papers of that group. Refer regulation 37D(9) For Intermediate and 38D(8) For Final.
7. There will be no Correction Window or Window with Late Fee after the inputs are taken.
8. Candidates will have the option to surrender and re-appear in the exempted paper(s).
9. Candidates securing exemption in Paper-4 of Final in May 2022, Nov 2022, May 2023 or Nov 2023 exams will automatically get PERMANENT exemption from appearing in Self-Paced Module SET-A and need not apply.
10. Students securing exemption in Paper-5 of Final in May 2022, Nov 2022, May 2023 or Nov 2023 exams will get PERMANENT exemption from appearing in Self-Paced Module SET-B and need not apply.
11. If there is a Permanent Exemption (PE) in a group, then, no new exemption will be granted in that group.
12. If a candidate opts for continuing the exemption after exhausting the same, then the Exempted Marks will be limited to 50 and excess marks of the permanent exempted paper cannot be considered for complying with the 50% aggregate marks requirement of the same or other Group.
