The Supreme Court of India has allowed the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) to conduct the scheduled Chartered Accountant (CA) examination from July 5. However, the apex court has laid down certain conditions regarding the opt-out option due to the corona pandemic.
A bench of Justices AM Khanwilkara, Dinesh Maheshwari, and Aniruddha Bose said that if any candidate or his family member is affected by the corona pandemic, he may be given an option to opt-out based on the RTPCR test. Provided that their uploading of RTPCR will be mandatory.
The bench has also said that it is not necessary that the RTPCR report is correct, so if a candidate gets a certificate of COVID-19 from a doctor, then he will not be required to produce the RTPCR report.
