I am now worried are we allowed to use black pen to do what I did?

As per ICAI, you can use EITHER blue or black ball point pen but NOT both. If you use black color pen for column headings and blue for the content, that will be considered as unfair means. Please read the "INSTRUCTIONS TO CANDIDATES" given along with your hall ticket.

Hey there, it's perfectly fine if you use black or/and blue ink to highlight and write, as long as , no other ink you're using. Dear friend, just focus on our last paper now, all the very best !
