ICAI IFSCA Certificate Test 2026: Crucial Exam Rules and Login Steps You Must Know

ICAI will conduct the IFSCA capital‑markets certificate test on Saturday, September 19, 2026. Paper access is through the ICAI Digital Learning Hub with strict remote proctoring. Batch‑wise registration is enabled on dashboards. Face authentication is compulsory before the cut‑off. The certification supports roles in GIFT IFSC under IFSCA’s capital‑market framework.

Paper I runs from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm IST and carries 100 multiple‑choice questions for 100 marks. Active ICAI membership and at least 75 percent attendance in professional training are prerequisites. Face authentication must be completed by 1:30 pm, two days before the exam. For login help, email [email protected] or [email protected], or call the listed helplines.

IFSCA capital‑markets certificate eligibility and career value

IFSC capital‑market intermediaries must staff key managerial and core business roles with certified professionals. IFSCA has specified ICAI’s “Regulatory Framework for Capital Markets Intermediaries and Listing Requirements of IFSCA” as an approved course. ICAI’s first virtual batch candidates meeting attendance and membership norms should appear now to validate compliance skills demanded by GIFT City entities.

DLH login, admit card, and system check for ICAI IFSCA test

Log in to the Digital Learning Hub using SSP credentials at least two days prior. Ensure a recent photograph on your SSP profile, then complete face registration. Use a laptop or desktop only; enable webcam, allow pop‑ups, keep cookies on, and set browser zoom to 100 percent. ICAI’s notice does not mention a separate admit card; launch the test from “My Products.”

Proctoring rules for ICAI’s IFSCA capital‑markets certificate

Admin proctoring and liveliness checks apply throughout. Keep your face in the webcam’s line of sight; only one person should appear. Do not minimize, toggle windows, refresh, or use special keys, as the system can auto‑submit and lock the attempt. Remaining idle or moving away may disable access until re‑authentication.

Troubleshooting DLH login/payment, result and e‑certificate timeline

If “Proceed to payment” is disabled, update and save your address before paying. “Product not suitable for your profile” indicates an ineligible profile type. For login issues, write to [email protected]. Results appear under the Assessment node in DLH; ICAI also posts course results within days on its Notifications page, based on recent cycles. E‑certificates are downloadable from “My Products.”

Prioritise a clean tech setup and complete face authentication by 1:30 pm on Thursday, September 17, 2026. Test DLH access, check webcam and browser settings, and keep helplines handy. With timing, pattern, and rules clear, candidates can focus on revision and earn a certification now recognised by IFSCA for IFSC capital‑market roles.
