For the 2024 ICAI elections, members will vote to elect 32 Central Council Members (CCM) and 64 Regional Council Members (RCM) who will serve a four-year term. Here’s a brief overview:

Central Council (CCM): With 32 elected members and 8 government nominees, the CCM governs ICAI at the national level, overseeing policies, standards, and the profession’s development across India. CCMs are elected proportionally from ICAI’s five regional zones: Northern, Southern, Western, Eastern, and Central.

Regional Councils (RCM): Each region has a set number of RCMs, totaling 64, who address local member needs, support events, and implement ICAI policies regionally. RCMs are crucial for localized representation and ensuring accessible support for members.

Why These Numbers?: The distribution (32 CCMs and 64 RCMs) is established under the Chartered Accountants Act, balancing broad representation with efficient governance. This structure ensures national policy-making by the CCMs and responsive regional representation through RCMs​
