CA Inter Law · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.

CA Intermediate Law is the law paper of the Intermediate level of the Chartered Accountancy course offered by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). Under the current scheme the paper is titled Corporate and Other Laws, and it is studied by candidates who have cleared the CA Foundation route or entered through the Direct Entry route after a recognised degree, and who are working through the Intermediate level before the Final level and practical training. The syllabus is built around company law together with other business laws that a practising or industrial chartered accountant meets daily: incorporation and management of companies, share capital and debentures, acceptance of deposits, registration of charges, management and administration, declaration and payment of dividend, accounts of companies, audit and auditors, appointment and qualification of directors, meetings of board and its powers, appointment and remuneration of managerial personnel, and winding up, alongside the general clauses law, interpretation of statutes and other allied statutes prescribed by ICAI. Because the paper is statute-driven, preparation should start from the bare provisions of the Companies Act and the prescribed allied laws, then move to ICAI study material, the relevant rules and notifications, and past examination questions and suggested answers. Topics on this exam: Corporate and Other Laws. The CA Inter Law study guide has 1 section and about 415 words.
