C&AG Points is a scoring system used by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) to enrol CA firms for auditing government entities. The CAG assigns points based on the firm's profile and parameters. The firms having enough required points are considered for statutory audits of Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) and other government bodies. With this recognition, the CAs who have completed the AICA L1 course can now earn extra CAG Points, which will help them select government audits.

Now, AICA L1 course has been considered for C&AG Points as second qualification
