What is meant by verification of Answer Books?
Many students confused with the term verification of marks. Verification of books does not mean that your CA Foundation, CA Intermediate/ IPCC and CA Final exam answer sheet would be rechecked or evaluate again. Actually, evaluation of the answer book is not permitted under the Chartered Accountants Regulations, 1988.
Therefore, the process of verification of marks covers only the following checking that whether:
- the answer book(s) compilation is complete;
- any question or part thereof has remained unvalued;
- the handwriting of the candidate in all the answer books is the same;
- there is any totaling error in any question or total marks on the cover page;
- there is any discrepancy between the marks for each question and or/part thereof and marks for each question indicated on the cover page of the answer book.

A candidate can apply for verification on-line within 30 days or the date as may be announced by ICAI. This period shall be counted from the date of declaration of your result.
