ICAI is providing this facility that you can get your certified copies of evaluated answer books. Let’s check frequently asked questions on ICAI supply of certified copies.
ICAI Supply of Certified Copies/Inspection of Evaluated Answer Books
1. How do I apply for supply/inspection of certified copies of my evaluated answer books?
a) In case you are an Intermediate(IPC) / Final candidate, it is mandatory that you submit your application for inspection/supply of certified copies of answer books, online only. Physical application by such candidates will not be entertained.
b) In case you are Common Proficiency Test (CPT) / Post Qualification Courses (PQC) examinee, you can submit a physical application for inspection/ supply of certified copies of answer books, in the normal course, along with the Demand Draft for applicable fees.
Your application seeking certified copies of answer books should be in your own running (not all CAPS) handwriting and duly signed by you. In case you are a Hindi medium candidate, your application should be in Hindi. In case you are applying on-line, you will be required to upload the scanned copy of your signed handwritten request.
2. When do I get the copies of the answer books, once I submit an application?
We endeavor to provide you the certified copies of your answer books within 30 days from the date of receipt of your application at ICAI, complete in all respects.
3. I have already applied for inspection/certified copies of my evaluated answer books. Will the same application be treated as an application for verification also? Or do I have to make a separate application for verification?
Before providing certified copies/inspection of evaluated answer books to the examinees, verification of answer books, within the scope of Regulation 39(4), is also carried out, by the office, suo motu, in respect of all applications for inspection and/or certified copy of evaluated answer book(s) and in case of any discrepancy leading to increase in marks, a revised statement of marks is also sent to you.
However, in case you still notice a discrepancy, within the scope of verification as envisaged in Regulation 39(4), upon receipt of certified copies/inspection of evaluated answer books, you can bring it to the notice of the office, immediately on receipt of certified copies/inspection of evaluated answer books.
In case your request for verification/supply of certified copies of answer books relates to more than one paper, there is no need to submit two different applications. Further, in case you wish to apply for both verification as well as inspection / certified copies, you may send two separate applications for each.
4. I applied for certified copies of my evaluated answer books and received them. I am not satisfied with the evaluation of my answers and the marks awarded. I want to apply for re-evaluation of my answer book. Can I do so?
No. Re-evaluation of evaluated answer books is not permitted as per CA Regulations 1988.
5. I applied for certified copies of my evaluated answer books and received them. I notice that the marks awarded on the answer books are different from the marks on my statement of the mark? Why is it so?

The term “section” used in the above-mentioned Regulation refers to the category of the candidates whose answer papers are valued by an examiner and such other category of candidates as may be specified by the Council.
Marks awarded on the answer books are the marks given by the examiner, based on the actual performance of the candidate. Marks given on the statement of marks include marks awarded in terms of Regulation 39(2) mentioned above.
6. I applied for certified copies of my evaluated answer books and received them. I notice that some part of the answers are not evaluated by the examiner or there is a totaling error or marks awarded have not been carried forward to the cover page or such other matters that fall within the scope of verification covered under Regulation 39(4). What should I do now?
You can write to the Joint Secretary (Exams) about the same, within 30 days from the date of the letter.

If the screen shows the status of your transaction as “Not successful” or the Control Number is blank/ zero, then that means your online request is not received by us, even though the fee might have been deducted from your bank account. In such cases, the office will not be able to process your application, since the application is not there with the office.

Please note that if the uploaded scanned image is not your handwritten application, but of some other document, then also your application will not be processed by the office.
