Please find below detailed procedure:
PROCEDURE FOR DISCLOSURE OF ANSWER SHEETS
It is important to follow the procedure prescribed by ICAI for inspection or for obtaining Certified Copies of Answer Sheets. Please find point wise procedure:
1. An application is required to be submitted by the Students of CA CPT, IPCC or Final for inspection or for obtaining Certified Copies of Answer Sheets. This application is required to be submitted within 30 days of the declaration of CPT, IPCC or CA Final Result along with the fees of Rs. 500 per paper.
Late submission not allowed: Kindly note the provision of submission of application with late fees has been withdrawn by ICAI. So now there is no provision of late fees and applications would not be accepted after 30 days of declaration of result.
2. Please download & print the declaration available at the link below on A4 size paper.
Fill up the blank areas (in English if the Medium was English else in Hindi if the Medium of exam was Hindi), Sign it, Scan as A4 (100DPI, upto 200KB). The signed scanned application which is clearly readable has to be uploaded. The list of papers for which Inspection/Certified Copies will be provided, will be taken from your selection made thru the portal and not from what is written in the scanned image. In case the uploaded scanned image is not conforming to above parameters, the online application for verification will not be considered for any action and NO refund of fees for the same will be considered.
3. If the candidate appeared for the Exam in Hindi then the details required in the application form must be in Hindi and in case candidate appeared for the Exam in English then the application must be in English. Your application seeking certified copies of answer books should be in your own handwriting and duly signed by you. In case you are applying on-line you will be required to upload scanned copy of your signed handwritten request. The students can download the application form for inspection of answer sheets from the following link:-
4. If after receipt of certified copies of evaluated answer books, student noticed 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), he may write to the Additional Secretary (Exams) about the same, within 30 days from the date of dispatch of answer sheets. The format of the letter to be written to ICAI in case any discrepancy is noticed in the answer sheets has been uploaded by ICAI on this link –

5. Mode of submission of application: There are 2 modes of submission of application prescribed by ICAI. The application for inspection / certified copies of evaluated answer sheets can either be made online or physical sent to ICAI at the address mentioned in this article.
One student is entitled to make a single Application only. Hence students are advised to carefully submit their request for inspection of papers as more than one application cannot be made or entertained by ICAI.
6. Submission of online Application: In case the application is being made online, a signed and scanned copy of the application form would be required to be uploaded on the below mentioned link provided by the ICAI:
Payment Mode: This is the simplest and quickest mode for submission of application through the use of your debit or credit card. You can pay the revaluation fee online through using your Debit or Credit Card. The payment has to be made online thru Master/Visa/Maestro Credit/Debit Card. Please note Net banking is not accepted.
Benefit of Online application:
a. Submission of application for certified copies/inspection and making payment of fees on-line is more convenient. You also save on the time and money spent on purchasing a draft, as also postage for dispatch. You are also sure that your transaction is successful. b. There is no difference in the amount of fees payable, between the two channels. Hence ICAI encourage students to submit applications online, since, it expedites the process.
7. After the Successful payment you will get a confirmation screen. You may print the same & keep for your record. In case the money gets deducted from your account and you do not get a "Successful" transaction screen, the status of your application will not be considered successful and the same will not be processed by the office. The failed transactions will be credited back to your account within 45 days after the close of inspection/certified copies window. You may check the status of your application at the link below:
Please note that it is mandatory to upload scanned copy of your handwritten request on the portal, failing which you will not be permitted to submit an online request.
8. Submission of Physical Application: In case you are unable to upload scanned copy of your handwritten request, or not able to login due to any reason, you may send your handwritten request along with the Demand Draft for the applicable fee, by speed post/registered post.
In case of physical application submission, the envelope containing the application shall be superscribed with “Application seeking inspection/certified copies of evaluated Answer Books” along with the name of the exam, i.e. Final or Intermediate(IPCC) as the case may be. In case of physical submission of application, the Fees shall be payable by a Demand Draft be made in favor of – “The Secretary, Institute of Chartered Accountants of India” payable at New Delhi.
