In a serious overhaul of the articled coaching framework, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has introduced that each one CA college students starting their articleship on or after January 1, 2026, should preserve a compulsory digital E-Diary.
The transfer replaces conventional guide record-keeping with a centralised on-line system designed to convey larger transparency, uniformity, and accountability to sensible coaching. The E-Diary will operate as an official digital logbook, documenting trainees’ each day assignments, duties, {and professional} studying progress.
The platform will routinely confirm entries for completeness earlier than forwarding them to the principal for overview. Principals can suggest edits or corrections if essential.
Trainees might be given a seven-day window to revise and resubmit their entries, making certain accuracy and correct documentation of their coaching journey.
