Yes, the CA Foundation result September 2026 is out. ICAI declared it on 6 November, and 19,736 of the 1,04,240 candidates who appeared passed, a pass rate of 18.93%. You check it at caresults.icai.org with your registration number and roll number.
ICAI’s notice had promised the result by evening. It was live before 11 AM, so anyone who waited for dinner was the last to know.

If the site crawls, wait a few minutes and try again, as Sarkarimocktest advised, because result day traffic is heavy. To pass, you needed at least 40% in every paper and 50% overall. With four papers of 100 marks each, that means 40 in each paper and 200 out of 400 in total.
What the 18.93% pass rate does and doesn’t tell you
The rate sits just under the last two sessions and well above September 2025. Numbers from Sarkarimocktest Live show the pattern.
| Session | Appeared | Passed | Pass percentage |
|---|---|---|---|
| September 2026 | 1,04,240 | 19,736 | 18.93% |
| May 2026 | 90,217 | 18,124 | 20.09% |
| January 2026 | 1,09,694 | 21,099 | 19.23% |
| September 2025 | 98,827 | 14,609 | 14.78% |
More people passed this time than in May 2026 (19,736 against 18,124), even though the rate dipped, because about 14,000 more candidates sat the papers. A lower percentage on a bigger pool isn’t the same as a harder paper.
The gender gap is wider than in most coverage. Men passed at 20.47% (10,931 of 53,398) and women at 17.32% (8,805 of 50,842), a gap of roughly three points. The figures I found don’t split first attempts from repeat attempts, so they can’t say why.

| January 2027 exam form opens | 3 November 2026 |
| Last date without late fee | 16 November 2026 |

The form dates come from sarkarimocktest Live’s report on the ICAI schedule. The first deadline, 16 November, falls ten days after the result.
Fees
| Item | Fee |
|---|---|
| January 2027 exam form (Indian centres) | ₹1,500 |
| Late fee (16 to 19 November) | ₹600 |
| Total with late fee | ₹2,100 |
| Verification of marks | ₹50 per paper |
| Certified copy of answer book | ₹100 per paper |
The exam fee is ₹1,500 for Indian centres, and the verification fee dropped to ₹50 per paper after ICAI revised it. ICAI refunds that fee if your marks change.
Verification is cheap, so if you missed the 200 mark by a handful, I’d apply. Just know what you’re buying: it isn’t a full re-evaluation, so expect a check of totals and unmarked answers, not a fresh read of your paper.

If you didn’t pass, the date that matters is Monday, 16 November. Log in to the Self Service Portal this week and pay the ₹1,500 then, because waiting for 19 November costs ₹600 more and leaves no room if the portal hangs. If you did pass, keep an eye on icai.org for the Intermediate registration details.
