The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) is expected to announce the results of the CA Foundation September 2026 examination soon. As of October 28, the institute has not officially confirmed the result date or time. An update published by The Indian Express on October 27 said that evaluation was still underway and that the results were expected in the following week. Some education portals have reported October 31, 2026, as a tentative date, but candidates should treat this as an estimate until ICAI issues a formal announcement.

Once declared, candidates will be able to check their marks through the official ICAI result portal at caresults.icai.org. Students should also monitor the institute's official website for the confirmed announcement rather than relying on unverified social media updates.
ICAI conducted the September 2026 CA Foundation examinations in offline, pen-and-paper mode on September 2, 5, 7 and 9, 2026 at examination centres in India. Candidates who appeared for these papers can access their results once ICAI activates the relevant result link. Source: The Indian Express.
The Foundation examination is the entry-level stage of the Chartered Accountancy course. Students who qualify can progress towards CA Intermediate, subject to completing the applicable registration requirements under ICAI's education and training scheme.
Candidates should keep their examination details ready before visiting the result portal. The result can be checked online by following these steps after the official link becomes available:

The online result generally includes identifying information and examination performance details. Candidates should check the following information carefully:
If any information appears incorrect or a score is missing, candidates should contact ICAI through its official channels for guidance. It is also advisable to keep a digital copy and a printed copy of the result for records, while remembering that the online result may not replace any formal documents required later in the CA course.
To qualify for CA Foundation, candidates generally need to secure at least 40% marks in each paper and 50% aggregate across all papers, in accordance with ICAI's examination rules. Meeting the aggregate requirement alone is not sufficient if a candidate falls below the minimum required marks in an individual paper.
Candidates should consult the applicable ICAI examination regulations if they need clarification about exemptions, paper-wise performance or any special provisions relevant to their attempt. The final result issued by ICAI will determine whether a candidate has qualified.
Students who pass can move to the next stage of the Chartered Accountancy pathway by completing the relevant CA Intermediate registration formalities. They should review ICAI's current registration deadlines, course requirements and examination schedule before planning their next attempt.
Candidates who do not qualify should first review their subject-wise performance rather than make decisions based only on the overall result. Identifying the papers that need improvement can help them prepare a more focused study plan. Students should use official ICAI study material, practice questions and mock tests, and verify the applicable rules and deadlines before registering for another examination.
The CA Intermediate September 2026 result has already been declared, according to ICAI's official announcement dated October 22. However, that announcement concerns the Intermediate examination and does not confirm the Foundation result date. Source: ICAI official press release.
Candidates should rely on two primary sources: the ICAI website for formal announcements and caresults.icai.org for result access. If the website experiences heavy traffic around the announcement, students can try again after a short interval rather than repeatedly submitting their details.
Until ICAI publishes a confirmed date and time, October 31 should be treated only as a reported estimate. Keeping login credentials ready and checking official updates will help candidates access their scores promptly once the results are released.
