Prafulla P Chhajed, president ICAI, said, “The benchmarking of the CA qualification comparable to RQF Level 7, Master’s degree standard not only would strengthen the position of ICAI members, but would also provide opportunities for higher studies and enhanced professional opportunities for ICAI members/ semi-qualified professionals in UK, Middle East and other foreign jurisdictions accepting NARIC evaluation.”

He further added that “ICAI members abroad are facing difficulty in settling abroad. This evaluation would help them in deciding the stage of a professional qualification for ICAI members because now they know that they not only possess a professional qualification of relevance.”
India has about 3 lakh members and 7.50 lakh students associated with the ICAI. The institute is one of the few accounting bodies worldwide, which provides the entire gamut of services for the growth, development and regulation of the accountancy profession in India.
