ICAI Opens Second Virtual Batch on Real Estate Advisory and Practice Setup From September 7

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India's Members in Practice Committee has listed the second virtual batch of Real Estate Advisory and Practice Setup for September 7 to September 18, 2026. The programme is aimed at Chartered Accountants seeking structured exposure to real-estate compliance, taxation, finance, valuation, audit and advisory work.

Programme schedule and fee

According to the official ICAI programme page, the training will run from September 7 to September 18, 2026 in online mode. Sessions are scheduled from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. The participation fee is ₹2,000 plus GST per participant, and ICAI lists 4 Structured CPE Hours for the batch.

What the programme is designed to cover

ICAI describes the course as a 12-day virtual learning programme intended to equip CAs with specialised knowledge and practical exposure across the real-estate ecosystem. The stated coverage includes regulatory frameworks and compliance requirements, taxation, finance, valuation, audit, legal documentation and post-development advisory.

The practice-oriented design is relevant because real-estate engagements often cut across multiple professional disciplines. A CA advising a developer, investor, lender, housing entity or transaction team may need to connect tax treatment with project finance, regulatory documentation, valuation assumptions, audit evidence and ongoing compliance. ICAI positions the programme as a route to build that combined domain capability.

Who may find it useful

The programme is most directly relevant to members in practice who want to enter real-estate consultancy or deepen an existing practice. It can also be useful for professionals working on project finance, transaction support, financial due diligence, valuation, tax, GST, audit or regulatory advisory where real-estate clients form a meaningful part of the portfolio.

ICAI says the course is intended to combine conceptual learning with practical expertise. The official page also provides links for registration, a programme flyer and background material, giving prospective participants a way to review the exact curriculum before enrolling.

What members should check before registering

Members should review the detailed programme material for session-wise coverage and confirm that the timing works across the full training window. Those joining primarily for a specific domain, such as RERA-related compliance, taxation or valuation, should check the detailed agenda to see how extensively that topic is covered.

Because the programme is a professional-learning offering rather than a statutory qualification, participants should treat it as capacity building and not as a substitute for any separate regulatory registration, licence or certification that a particular service may require.

For CAs exploring real-estate advisory as a practice area, ICAI's second virtual batch provides a structured entry point covering the commercial, regulatory, tax, audit and valuation dimensions of the sector. The key dates are September 7 to September 18, 2026, with sessions from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM and registration available through the official ICAI programme page.

Key takeaway

The programme is an active registration opportunity for CAs looking to build or expand real-estate advisory practices, with a September start date and exact official registration page.
