ACCA Course Fees in Mumbai (2026): The Real Breakdown

Quick answer:
ACCA’s own registration, subscription, exam and ethics-module fees run ₹2.2-2.8 lakhs in Mumbai — exactly the same as anywhere else in India, since ACCA bills everything in GBP. What actually differs by city is coaching: Mumbai institutes typically charge ₹60,000-₹2,80,000 depending on level and bundle, and study materials add ₹10,000-₹25,000 per level. A realistic all-in Mumbai budget is ₹3-6 lakhs, before exemptions, scholarships or ALP discounts

Search “ACCA course fees in Mumbai” and you’ll get answers anywhere from ₹1.8 lakhs to ₹4.5 lakhs — and the gap only widens the more you look. Neither number is wrong; they’re just answering different questions. One is what ACCA itself charges. The other folds in coaching, materials, and sometimes a resit or two. Here’s the actual breakdown, so you know which number applies to you.

Registration, subscription, exam and ethics-module fees go straight to ACCA in GBP and are identical no matter which Indian city — or country — you sit your exams from.

All-in, ACCA’s own fees for all 13 papers plus EPSM and roughly 3 years of subscription typically total ₹2.2-2.8 lakhs, assuming no resits. Exemptions cost about the same as sitting the paper you’re exempting, so they mainly save time and attempts rather than money — unless your coaching provider discounts the exemption fee itself.

See The ACCA Exemptions Guide for which prior qualifications unlock how many exemptions.

• Re-registration: around £89 (₹10,300) if your account lapses from a missed subscription payment.
• Late exam fees: up to £150/paper (₹17,400) for booking after the standard window.
• Rescheduling: £40-£60 (₹5,000-₹7,000) to move an already-booked exam date.
• Resits: the full exam fee again — by far the biggest avoidable cost in the whole qualification.

This is the part that actually varies by city — and by institute. Mumbai coaching fees commonly range from around ₹60,000 for a single level up to roughly ₹2,80,000 for a full all-levels bundle, depending on the institute, whether you pay per paper or per level, and whether the mode is live classroom, live online, or self-paced.

• Study materials: official ACCA-approved resources cost roughly ₹10,000-₹25,000 per level, less if you use digital editions or ACCA’s own free resources where available.

Bundled packages usually work out cheaper than per-paper payments and often throw in mock exams, revision batches and doubt-clearing support that you’d otherwise pay for separately — compare what’s included, not just the headline price

As India’s financial capital and home to the Reserve Bank of India, the BSE and NSE, and the largest concentration of Big 4 firms, investment banks and BFSI head offices in the country, Mumbai offers ACCA-qualified professionals a dense local job market in audit, financial reporting, risk and advisory roles — often without needing to relocate once qualified.

IMS Proschool’s Mumbai centres (Andheri, Churchgate, Thane, Borivali, Navi Mumbai) offer the full ACCA course across live classroom, live online and recorded formats, with ACCA-approved study material, unlimited doubt-clearing, mock exams and placement support — plus fee waivers and up to 82% off exemption fees for enrolled students.

ACCA’s own fees are fixed and identical wherever you study — it’s coaching, materials and how many resits you avoid that move the needle on your actual Mumbai budget. Plan for ₹2.2-2.8 lakhs for ACCA’s own charges, ₹3-6 lakhs all-in with coaching and materials, and look for exemptions, scholarships and ALP discounts to bring that down.

What is the total ACCA course cost in Mumbai?
Roughly ₹2.2-2.8 lakhs for ACCA’s own registration, subscription and exam fees, and ₹3-6 lakhs all-in once Mumbai coaching and study materials are added — exemptions and discounts can bring this down meaningfully.

Why are ACCA exam fees so high?
They reflect ACCA’s global recognition, GBP-denominated international exam infrastructure, and professional-level assessment standards across 13 papers — costs that apply uniformly to students worldwide, not just in India.

Who is eligible for ACCA?
Anyone who has completed Class 12 (with minimum marks in Maths/Accounting and English) can register directly for the main ACCA Qualification; relevant graduates and professionals may additionally qualify for paper exemptions. Students can start even earlier — right after Class 10 — through ACCA’s Foundations in Accountancy (FIA) route, which has no Class 12 requirement and feeds into the main qualification once completed.

Can I do ACCA after BCom?
Yes — BCom graduates can register directly for ACCA and often qualify for exemptions on some Applied Knowledge and Applied Skills papers depending on their syllabus and university.

Can I reduce my ACCA cost through scholarships?
ACCA isn’t free, but scholarships like the Simpson Scholarship (awarded to a handful of students annually) can cut your cost substantially, and ACCA-approved learning partners such as IMS Proschool offer registration waivers and steep exemption-fee discounts.

What is the ACCA salary in India?
Commonly cited entry-level ranges sit around ₹6-10 LPA, rising well beyond that with experience, in Mumbai’s BFSI and Big 4 roles especially — treat this as indicative rather than guaranteed, since it varies by employer and role.
