Nearly 1.20 lakh out of 5 lakh ICAI members are at risk of losing their Membership and Certificate of Practice (COP) due to non-payment of annual fees for 2025-26. The Institute has set a firm deadline of September 30, 2025, after which memberships will be automatically cancelled. This will result in immediate loss of practice rights, audit signing authority, and professional standing. Members can pay securely through the ICAI eServices portal using multiple payment options including UPI, net banking, and cards. With just days remaining, immediate action is essential to avoid cancellation and the hassle of reactivation procedures.
