Why Two Editions Exist and Which One You Need
ICAI keeps the current edition live for students appearing up to a certain attempt, while already publishing the next print run for later attempts, so both sit on the portal together for a while. We checked topic by topic and the two editions here are structurally identical: the same three modules, the same twelve company-law chapters, and the same three other-laws chapters. Only the underlying file references differ. The weightage tables at the top of this page apply to both editions without adjustment.
If your physical book or PDF says “Applicable for May 2026 Exam Onwards” on the cover, use Edition 1. If it says “Relevant for May 2027 and Onwards Examination,” use Edition 2.
