You're asking about verification of answer books for CA Final — particularly regarding Auditing, where you scored 36 marks, and you're wondering whether applying for verification could help you clear Group I (since your total is 191, and passing marks are 200). Let me guide you step by step:
✅ 1. Verification vs Revaluation – Key Difference: 🔴 ICAI does not allow revaluation of answer books — only verification is permitted under ICAI rules. Verification includes:
Checking for totalling errors, Ensuring all answers are evaluated, Ensuring marks are correctly carried forward and posted. It does NOT include: Rechecking the correctness of your answers, Re-evaluation by a second examiner. ✅ 2. Chance of Clearing Based on Verification? Since you have: 36 in Auditing (below 40 passing mark), 191 total in Group I (needs 200 to pass), You need: At least 4 more marks in Auditing, AND At least 9 marks added anywhere in total, to clear the group. 🔹 Chances of getting 4+ marks added in a single subject via verification are very rare — unless: Some question wasn’t checked at all, Totalling error is found. 📌 In most cases, marks change by 1–2, if at all. ✅ 3. Procedure to Apply for Verification (as of recent ICAI rules): You need to apply within one month from the date of declaration of results. Application Process: Visit: https://eservices.icai.org Login using your Student Login ID. Go to “Apply for Verification”. Select the subject(s) you want verification for. Pay the fee online. Fees: ₹100 per paper ₹400 for all papers in a group ✅ 4. Timeline & Outcome: ICAI usually takes 6–8 weeks to process. If there’s any change in marks, you’ll get: A revised marksheet, and An email/SMS intimation. ✅ 5. Should You Apply? Yes, it’s worth applying — especially for papers close to 40. Though chances are slim, the cost is low, and if there was any oversight (like unchecked answer), it might help.
📝 Sample Outcome Scenarios: Situation Result 36 → 38 or 39 Still fail (subject-wise) 36 → 40+ ✅ Subject cleared; if total ≥ 200, Group passed Minor mark increase in other subjects Might help total, but not subject-wise passing
