ICAI CA Inter toppers: Mumbai’s Parami Umesh Parekh has topped the exam with 848 marks (80.67 per cent).
The results of the September round of the Chartered Accountancy Intermediate test were released earlier today, October 30, and three female candidates were the highest scorers.
Parami Umesh Parekh of Mumbai scored 848, or 80.67 percent, to win the exam. With 459, or 76.50 percent, marks, Tanya Gupta from Chennai is the second national topper, while Vidhi Jain from New Delhi has earned the third all-India rank (441, or 73.50 percent).

ICAI’s Dheeraj Khandelwal called it a historic moment to celebrate. In a post on X, he wrote: This time, all three top rankers are women. It’s a powerful sign of how the profession is shifting. Currently, women make up about 30% of ICAI’s membership, a number that’s expected to grow to 50% in the next five years. The progress has been remarkable: in 2008, there were only about 8,000 female members. By 2018, that number had soared to 80,000, and today, it has surpassed 125,000.
Khandelwal added that beyond numbers, the trend reflects that accountancy is becoming a top carer choice for women.
“It’s a sign of greater opportunities, changing perceptions, and a future where women are leading with expertise and dedication.”
