The Institute (ICAI) in order to provide updated Study Material at the door step of the Students has developed Centralized Distribution System (CDS). The new portal is available at https://icai-cds.org with option to cater to Members, registered students and other stakeholders.

Through this system, students after completing registration/conversion of any level will get automatic notification (email/ SMS alert) regarding their login id and password (with the option to change password). The Students will get SMS alert only after their registration has been confirmed by the concerned Regional Office and not immediately after the student has completed the online filling of registration form. Under this system, the students can track their dispatches and submit their feedback.
