How this is calculated
- Exemptions use the same rules as the Exemptions section on our ACCA course page. If you tick more than one qualification, you see the combined (best) set of exemptions.
- Exam fees for the remaining papers come from our ACCA course fee page (two Strategic Professional options included), converted at 1 GBP = ₹126.98, the rate stored on 26 Oct 2026.
- Exemption fees, registration, annual subscription and the Ethics module are not in this figure — use the cost calculator for the full cost, and the official ACCA exemptions calculator for exemption fees and any qualification not listed here.
- Results are estimates. ACCA makes the final decision on exemptions after assessing your transcripts.
Frequently asked questions
How many ACCA exemptions does a B.Com graduate get?
Usually 3 — the Applied Knowledge papers BT, MA, FA — leaving 10 of the 13 exams to sit. ACCA confirms the final exemptions after reviewing your documents.
How many ACCA papers does a CA get exempted from?
A CA Final holder is typically exempt from 9 papers (all Applied Knowledge and Applied Skills), leaving only the 4 Strategic Professional exams: SBL, SBR and two options. CA students who are not yet qualified are exempted paper by paper: for example Taxation gives TX, Auditing and Ethics gives AA, and Cost and Management Accounting gives MA and PM. Tick the CA papers you have passed in the checker to see your exemptions.
What ACCA exemptions do CMA India students get?
CMA Intermediate typically gives 3 exemptions (BT, MA, FA). CMA Final typically gives 6 (BT, MA, FA, PM, FR, FM), leaving 7 exams.
Can any qualification exempt me from Strategic Professional papers?
Not for the Indian qualifications covered here. Every route still requires SBL, SBR and two Strategic Professional options, plus the Ethics and Professional Skills Module.
How much are ACCA exemption fees?
Exemption fees are set by ACCA and confirmed when you apply, so this checker does not include them. Use the official ACCA exemptions calculator on accaglobal.com for the current fee for your qualification.
