ICAI Recruitment 2026: Apply Online for 129 Branch In-Charge Posts | Check Eligibility, Salary & Last Date

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has released a fresh recruitment notice inviting applications for 129 Branch In-Charge posts across its five Regional Councils. This is a golden opportunity for graduates with relevant work experience to join India’s largest professional accounting body in a leadership role. Online applications open on 3rd July 2026 and close on 19th July 2026, so eligible candidates should apply early to avoid last-minute issues.

🏢 Organization Details

The ICAI is a statuary body incorporated in the year 1949 through an Act of Parliament and is acknowledged as the biggest professional accounting body across the globe. To be employed as a Branch In-Charge entails being responsible for running the daily activities of that particular ICAI branch.

📊 Number of Vacancies & Reservation

Total Posts: 129

Applicants can apply for branch positions in one particular region only, but they can specify up to three branches in the same region irrespective of category. Since there are a total of 129 positions available, this recruitment offers a good opportunity to applicants in terms of choice of location.

🎓 Discipline & Educational Qualification

• Qualification Required: Graduate from a recognized University/Deemed University/Institution recognized by AICTE/UGC or an appropriate statutory authority.

The eligibility criteria are kept simple in that any graduate is eligible to apply, thus increasing the scope of candidates considerably. This gives candidates in fields such as commerce, arts, and science a chance to apply, provided they fulfill other requirements.

📉 Minimum Qualifying Marks

The candidates qualifying the cutoff of CBT will only be eligible for appearing in the interview stage, and the total score of both the rounds will be considered for the merit list. Having prior knowledge of the cutoff helps in strategizing for the exam.

🎂 Age Limit

• Minimum Age: 27 years
• Maximum Age: 40 years
• As on: 30.06.2026

There were no special age relaxation categories that were specified in the recruitment notification issued by the concerned department. The candidates must cross-check their age with the cut off age before applying to the post.

💼 Experience & Compensation (Category-wise)

The package will consist of Basic Salary, DA, HRA, TA, and NPS, along with LTC and Gratuity. Only post-qualification full-time experience will be taken into account – internships/articleship or any form of part-time/freelance work experience shall not be eligible. Such an incremental compensation model is provided to incentivize candidates from higher categories.

💰 Application Fee

It’s quite reasonable in comparison to others’ government recruitment campaigns, and hence the applicants don’t find it difficult to make the payment while applying. Note that the application process isn’t complete until you pay the fees.

⚙️ Selection Process

The selection for Branch In-Charge involves two stages:

1. Computer Based Test (CBT)
2. Personal Interview

The Final Merit shall be computed through the addition of the CBT score to the Interview score. No TA/DA shall be paid for the interview process, and all original documents should be authenticated before the interview level.

📚 Examination Syllabus & Pattern

Exam Duration: 3 Hours

The course curriculum places emphasis on hands-on computer skills (MS Excel & MS Word), communications skills, and basic accounting knowledge due to the administrative position that is the Branch In-Charge position. The candidate is advised to pay attention to excel formulas and emails because they are rarely asked in government exams.

📅 Important Dates

However, ICAI can modify the dates, and therefore, the candidates should continuously monitor the website for any changes. The period to apply is just about one month, and therefore, the applications should not be delayed.

📝 How to Apply

1. Visit the official ICAI recruitment portal.
2. Register using a valid, active email ID and mobile number.
3. Fill in personal, educational, and experience details carefully.
4. Select your preferred Region and up to 3 branch location preferences.
5. Upload all required documents in the prescribed format.
6. Pay the ₹250 application fee online.
7. Review and submit the form, then download/print a copy for your records.

No other application will be entertained besides the online application form. Beginners must be careful to verify all the fields before submitting their application because no modification will be made after that.
