CA Foundation September 2026 Result: Is It Out?
CA Foundation Sep 2026 Result Out Now: This is the question every candidate is asking so here is the straight answer. In the reports I reviewed which run up to October 22, 2026 the CA Foundation September 2026 result has not been declared yet and ICAI has not published an official date for it in those sources. Some pages carry result out headlines but when I opened them the body text described the result as expected, and the out referred to other things, such as the CA Intermediate result date notice.
What is known
- The CA Intermediate September 2026 result was scheduled for October 22, 2026 as per an ICAI notice quoted in media reports.
- The CA Foundation result is described as soon with a tentative window of October 23 to 26, 2026, according to one report that cites a CA educator’s estimate. That is an expectation not an ICAI announcement.
- A coaching institute page gives conflicting estimates within the same article October 26 to 28, the first week of November and late October to early November.
This article covers everything you need for the result day and it is clear about which parts are confirmed and which are not.

Conflicting Reports: What You Should Know
Because many pages cover this topic several details clash
- Release window: One source says October 23 to 26, another says Octobe 26 to 28, and another says the first week of November. All of these are guesses until ICAI publishes a notice.
- Time: A time of 5:00 PM is mentioned as tentative. ICAI’s Intermediate notice used the phrase evening so treat 5 PM as an estimate.
- Result website: Reports name caresults.icai.org and icai.nic.in. One page mixes the two into a single garbled address. Open the result link from the official ICAI website and double check the address.
- CA Final mix up One page says the Final result will be announced on October 22, but the Final exam is not part of this session in the sources reviewed so this looks like a mistake.
- Earlier declared early claims: One report said the Foundation result would come earlier than last time. The May 2026 result came on July 3, 2026, so a late October date would indeed be earlier but this is still an estimate.
Where to trust: Only an ICAI notice or the ICAI website confirms the date. Social media posts that say result out without a link to the official portal are not proof.

| Particulars | Details |
|---|---|
| Exam dates | September 2, 5, 7 and 9, 2026 |

The sources give the four dates and the four subjects but they do not say which subject fell on which date so check your own admit card if you need that detail.
How to Check CA Foundation Result September 2026: Step-by-Step
- Open the ICAI result portal caresults.icai.org or reach it from icai.nic.in.
- Click the CA Foundation September 2026 result link when it goes live.
- Enter your registration number and roll number. One report says registration number and password so the portal’s own fields will decide.
- Enter the captcha if shown.
- Click Check Result.
- Download and print your scorecard.
Tips for result day:
- The website can slow down in the first hour so wait a few minutes and try again.
- Do not enter your details on unofficial sites or direct link pages that ask for payment.
- Keep your registration number and roll number ready in advance.
What Your CA Foundation Scorecard Will Show
According to the reports the scorecard lists
- Name and roll number
- Paper number and subject
- Marks in each paper
- Result status for each subject and overall
If you spot an error such as a wrong name or a missing paper report it through ICAI’s official helpdesk or exam department and keep a screenshot.

CA Foundation Passing Marks and Marking Scheme
| Criterion | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Papers | Four |
| Minimum per paper | 40% |
| Aggregate | 50% overall |
| Wrong answers | One fourth of the question’s marks deducted as reported |
What this means: You need to score at least 40% in each paper and 50% across all four. A strong overall score does not rescue a paper below 40% so read your marks paper by paper.
The reports reviewed describe the negative marking in a single line so confirm which papers it applies to in the ICAI exam instructions.
CA Foundation Pass Percentage: How Past Sessions Compare
The figures below come from one media report. I recalculated several of them and a few of the rows contain small errors in the source as noted.
| Session | Appeared | Passed | Pass % |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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% |
| May 2025 | 82,662 | 12,474 | 15.09% |
| January 2025 | 1,10,887 | 23,861 | 21.52% |
| September 2024 | 70,437 | 13,858 | 19.67% |
| June 2024 | 91,900 | 13,749 | 14.96% |
Cautions about these numbers:
- The May 2026 and January 2026 rows are the most recent. A second report published the 90,217 and 18,124 figures but did not say which attempt they belong to though it gave the same July 3 declaration date.
- The June 2024 row has small inconsistencies in the source where the male and female totals do not exactly add up to the total shown so use it only as a rough guide.
- The September 2026 figures are not available yet.
The takeaway: Pass rates for CA Foundation have ranged from about 15% to 21.5% over these sessions. If you do not clear it this time you are in very large company and many candidates pass on a later attempt.
CA Foundation Toppers What Is Known
No September 2026 toppers have been announced in the sources reviewed. For context the most recent list in the reports is from the 2026 session declared on July 3
| Rank | Name | City | Marks |
|---|---|---|---|
| AIR 1 | Sakshi Jain | Nashik | 371 out of 400 (92.75%) |
| AIR 2 | Ayanabbas Ajani | Chandrapur | 367 (91.75%) |
| AIR 3 | Radha Unmesh Mulay | Pune | 365 (91.25%) |
Treat these as previous-session figures not the September 2026 result.
What to Do After the CA Foundation Result
If you passed
- Download and save the scorecard.
- Check the ICAI regulations for the next step which is the CA Intermediate course including registration and the eligibility conditions in force.
- Plan your Intermediate preparation and look out for ICAI’s registration notices.
If you did not pass
- Study your paper-wise marks to see exactly where you fell short.
- Check the next attempt dates and exam form schedule on icai.org.
- Rework your plan. Focus on the paper or papers where you fell below 40% and on the aggregate.
- Check verification options under ICAI’s rules if your marks look far below expectations. Confirm timelines and fees on the official site.
Result-Day Checklist
| Before | During | After |
|---|---|---|
| Keep your roll and registration numbers handy | Open caresults.icai.org from the official ICAI site | Save the scorecard as a PDF |
| Charge your phone and check your internet | Avoid refreshing again and again | Read paper-wise marks before deciding your next step |
| Ignore unverified “result out” posts | Do not share personal details on third-party pages | Note ICAI’s next notices for registration and exams |
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Trusting result out headlines without checking the official portal.
- Mixing up the Foundation and Intermediate results. They are separate and the Intermediate result was due on October 22.
- Using unofficial links that ask for payment or extra details.
- Judging your result by the overall pass rate. Your own paper-wise marks matter more.
- Panicking after a first-hour website slowdown. It is normal on result days.
