Role you're checking
Chartered Accountant
Finance
A Chartered Accountant (CA) is a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), licensed to sign audit reports, file statutory tax returns, and certify financial statements under the Companies Act 2013, Income Tax Act 1961, and GST law. The route is route-specific to India: CA Foundation after Class 12, then CA Intermediate, then a 3-year articleship at a CA firm, then CA Final. Roughly 3 lakh CAs are active in practice or industry today, split across the Big 4 (Deloitte, PwC, EY, KPMG India), domestic majors (SRBC, Walker Chandiok, BSR), mid-tier firms, and corporate finance teams at every listed company. CAs are not the same as accountants — only an ICAI member can issue a tax audit report under Section 44AB or sign a statutory audit, and CA Final is one of the toughest professional exams in the country, with single-digit pass rates per attempt.
