For students and parents budgeting for ACCA: every fee ACCA charges in pounds and rupees, two worked totals, and the late-entry trap to avoid.
If you start ACCA after 12th with no exemptions, plan for about ₹3 lakh in ACCA's own fees, spread over roughly three years. Coaching and books come on top of that.
ACCA charges everything in pounds (GBP). The rupee figures below use about ₹130 to the pound, as of October 2026, so your card statement may differ slightly on the day you pay.
| What you pay | Fee (GBP) | About (INR) |
| Initial registration (one time) | £30 | ₹3,900 |
| Annual student subscription (every year) | £140 | ₹18,200 |
| Exemption, per Applied Knowledge paper (BT, MA, FA) | £86 | ₹11,200 |
| Exemption, per Applied Skills paper (LW, PM, TX, FR, AA, FM) | £114 | ₹14,800 |
| Applied Skills exam, standard entry (PM, TX, FR, AA, FM) | £151 | ₹19,600 |
| SBL exam, standard entry | £268 | ₹34,800 |
| SBR or option paper, standard entry | £191 | ₹24,800 |
| Applied Skills exam, late entry | £387 | ₹50,300 |
BT, MA, FA and LW are not priced in this table on purpose. These four are on-demand computer-based exams, and ACCA does not set one price for them. You book and pay the exam centre directly, and the centre sets the fee. Call our counsellor for the current fee at our Indore centre.
You sit all 13 papers over about three years.

Add the four on-demand exams and the Ethics and Professional Skills Module, and the total comes to about ₹3 lakh.
Many B.Com graduates are exempt from BT, MA, FA and LW, which leaves nine papers. You can check what your own degree gets you in our guide to ACCA eligibility in India.

Compare the two tables. The exemption route is not cheaper. Each exemption has its own fee, and an Applied Skills exemption at £114 is only about ₹4,800 less than sitting a £151 Applied Skills exam.
What exemptions really buy you is time. Four exemptions can take months off how long the course takes, and that is worth paying for. Just do not budget as if exemptions will halve your bill. To see which papers you would still sit, read our guide to the 13 papers across three levels.
An Applied Skills paper costs £151 at standard entry and £387 at late entry. Same exam, same day. That is about ₹30,700 extra per paper.
Coaching is separate from ACCA's fees and varies a lot between online, recorded and classroom courses. Study material from ACCA-approved publishers is also a separate cost for each level.
At Vidhyoday Global we teach in classroom batches in Indore. Call our counsellor for current batch fees.
Once you clear all your exams, you pay an affiliate subscription until you complete your practical experience, then a fee to become a member and a yearly membership subscription after that. Check ACCA's current fees page before you plan this stage, because these change every year.
Your exact cost depends on how many exemptions ACCA gives you, and that depends on your degree and marksheet. Once you know, you can register with ACCA. If you want a year-by-year cost plan first, book a free counselling session with us in Indore.
About ₹3 lakh in ACCA's own fees for a student who starts after 12th with no exemptions and clears all papers over about three years. This covers registration, the annual subscription, exam fees and the ethics module. Coaching and books are extra.
The one-time initial registration fee is £30, about ₹3,900. On top of that, ACCA charges an annual student subscription of £140, about ₹18,200, every year you stay a registered student.
Not much. Each exemption has its own fee, and an Applied Skills exemption at £114 is only about ₹4,800 less than a £151 Applied Skills exam. Exemptions mainly save time.
You can still enter during the late-entry window, but the fee jumps. An Applied Skills paper goes from £151 to £387, about ₹30,700 extra for the same exam.
These four are on-demand exams. You pay the exam centre directly and the centre sets the fee. Call our counsellor for the current fee at our Indore centre.
