Old Scheme Advanced Accounting RTPs (November 2023 and earlier)
Attempts up to November 2023 were examined under the Old Scheme, where Advanced Accounting sat in Group II as Paper 5. The Accounting Standards and company accounts coverage overlaps substantially with the current Paper 1 syllabus, so these Revision Test Papers remain a useful source of additional practice problems.

Which topics does the Advanced Accounting RTP cover?
Each Revision Test Paper draws problems across the full Paper 1 syllabus. Accounting Standards carry the largest single weightage, and most RTPs allocate several questions to them:
- Accounting Standards — presentation and disclosure, asset-based, liability-based and revenue-based standards
- Financial Statements of Companies — Schedule III presentation and adjustments
- Consolidated Financial Statements — holding and subsidiary company accounts
- Amalgamation of Companies
- Accounting for Reconstruction of Companies
- Buyback of Securities
- Accounting for Branches — including foreign branches
How should I use the RTP in my Advanced Accounting preparation?
Solve the Revision Test Paper after completing one full revision of the syllabus, not while studying a chapter for the first time. Advanced Accounting is scored on presentation and working notes as much as on the final figure, so write every answer out in full and then compare it against ICAI's suggested answer.
1. Prioritise the Accounting Standards questions
Accounting Standards carry the largest weightage in Paper 1 and are the most predictable source of marks. Solve every AS question in the last three Revision Test Papers before moving to anything else.
2. Write the full solution, including format and working notes
Marks are distributed across the correct Schedule III format, the supporting workings and the final figure. An answer that reaches the right number without showing the working notes loses marks that the RTP would have exposed.
3. Practise the case scenario section separately
Roughly 30% of Paper 1 is case scenario based objective questions. These reward fast reading and precise application rather than long computation, so time them separately from the descriptive questions.
4. Log errors by chapter, not by question
Record every mistake against its chapter — Amalgamation, Consolidation, Branch Accounting, and so on. Most students lose marks in one or two concentrated areas, and written tracking makes that pattern visible within a single RTP.
5. Pair the RTP with an MTP and past papers
Each ICAI resource serves a distinct purpose in the final month before an attempt:
| Resource | Released | Best used for |
|---|---|---|
| RTP | ~2 months before the attempt | Chapter-wise problem practice and identifying examination-relevant areas |
| MTP | ~3–4 weeks before the attempt | Full-paper writing practice in exact exam format and 3-hour duration |
| Past Papers | After each attempt concludes | Gauging real difficulty and which chapters carry recurring weightage |

What is the RTP in CA Inter?
The RTP, or Revision Test Paper, is an official practice document published free by the Board of Studies at ICAI before every CA Intermediate attempt. It contains chapter-wise questions with detailed suggested answers and indicates which areas of the syllabus ICAI considers examination-relevant for that attempt.
Which paper is Advanced Accounting in CA Inter?
Under the ICAI New Scheme of Education and Training, Advanced Accounting is Group I, Paper 1 of CA Intermediate. It carries 100 marks over a three-hour examination.
Under the Old Scheme, applicable up to the November 2023 attempt, Advanced Accounting was Group II, Paper 5.
Is the CA Inter Advanced Accounting RTP free to download?
Yes. Every ICAI Revision Test Paper is free and requires no registration or payment. The links on this page open the official PDFs directly.
Is solving the RTP enough to pass CA Inter Advanced Accounting?
No. The Revision Test Paper is a revision and diagnostic tool rather than a substitute for the ICAI Study Material or structured classes. It assumes the syllabus is already complete.
Its value comes from exposing gaps in presentation, working notes and speed during the final six to eight weeks before an attempt.
When does ICAI release the RTP for each CA Inter attempt?
ICAI typically publishes the Revision Test Paper on its Board of Studies portal roughly two months before the examination begins. CA Intermediate is held three times a year, in January, May and September.
Zeroinfy updates this page with the direct PDF link for each new attempt as soon as ICAI releases it.
Are RTP questions repeated in the actual Advanced Accounting exam?
ICAI does not guarantee repetition. In Advanced Accounting, the same problem types recur with changed figures, because both the Revision Test Paper and the question paper are drafted from the same syllabus coverage. Learn the method rather than memorising a specific solution.
Can I use Old Scheme Advanced Accounting RTPs for the New Scheme exam?
Yes, for problem practice. Advanced Accounting was Group II Paper 5 under the Old Scheme, and the Accounting Standards and company accounts coverage overlaps substantially with the current Paper 1.
Use recent New Scheme Revision Test Papers for attempt-specific pattern reference and older ones purely for additional questions.
