Article summary

There is no single ACCA course fee total for every student. The budget can include ACCA registration and annual subscription, exam entry, exemptions, tuition-provider charges and other location-specific costs. The ACCA India fee page publishes charges in pounds sterling and updates exam fees by sitting and entry window. This page was checked on 7 October 2026; verify the live schedule before payment.

ACCA fees are only one part of the total

Plan for several separate items: initial registration, annual subscription while registered, exam entry for each paper, exemption charges where awarded, tuition or revision classes, and any extra examination-centre charges that apply. Students with exemptions may pay fewer exam fees but can have exemption charges. Provider tuition is not included in ACCA’s fee schedule unless a specific package says so.

Official India schedule checked 7 October 2026

  • Annual student subscription for 2026: £140.
  • Applied Skills exams for the December 2026 sitting: £151 standard entry or £387 late entry per exam.
  • Strategic Business Leader for December 2026: £268 standard entry or £430 late entry.
  • Strategic Business Reporting and Options exams for December 2026: £191 standard entry or £430 late entry.
  • ACCA lists initial registration and per-exemption fees on the same schedule; check the current page for the applicable amount and any current offer before paying.

The amounts above are in GBP because that is how ACCA’s official India fee page presents them in the schedule reviewed. They are not tuition-provider fees or an INR total. Entry windows have deadlines, and late entry can change the exam charge. Special centres may add local invigilation or accommodation costs.

Build your own cost estimate

  1. Check your likely starting point with ACCA’s exemption calculator.
  2. List the exams you expect to enter and the sitting you plan to take.
  3. Use the correct standard or late-entry fee for each paper.
  4. Add the annual subscription for every relevant year of student status.
  5. Check each exemption charge and the initial registration amount on the live page.
  6. Request tuition-provider prices, taxes, materials and refund terms separately.
  7. Keep the currency and the date of each quote in your budget.

Avoid misleading total-fee comparisons

A headline price may exclude exam entries, annual subscriptions, retakes, exemptions, tuition materials or taxes. Ask what is included and whether the quote applies to the current ACCA qualification or a future route. ACCA has published a redesigned qualification transition for 2027, so candidates with a multi-year plan should check current official guidance about syllabus and transition arrangements.

Are ACCA fees charged in Indian rupees?

The official ACCA India fee page reviewed for this guide displays its fee schedule in GBP. Payment methods, exchange rates, taxes or bank charges may affect the amount charged; confirm the final amount and terms at the point of payment.

Does ACCA tuition include exam fees?

Not automatically. Tuition providers set their own package inclusions. Compare the written provider quote with ACCA’s separate registration, subscription, exam and exemption charges.
