Full analysis
Overview
The website is the ICAI Gurugram Branch of the Northern India Regional Council, presenting information and services for chartered-accountant members and students, including events, notices, directories, training registrations, study resources, and branch contact facilities. Its apparent business model is that of a regional professional-education and member-services organization associated on the site with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
No scam, phishing, impersonation, or identity-contradiction signals were observed. The site’s content is consistent with an institutional branch portal rather than a deceptive financial solicitation: it provides member and student sections, event information, notice-board material, and registration-related links, while technical interaction testing found no hidden forms, external password submission, wallet activity, clipboard manipulation, cloaking, or suspicious inline scripts. The homepage states that the branch has “6000+ CA Members and 4000+ CA Students”; this is an on-site claim rather than independently verified evidence, but it is presented within a coherent organizational context. Several event and payment destinations use external or shortened links, so those destinations should be confirmed before payment; their presence alone does not establish impersonation or fraud.
- Domain registration record: created 2019-11-25, with an age of 6.74 years; registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com.
- Web archive record: 65 snapshots spanning 2017–2025, covering 9 years tracked.
- The homepage and navigation identify an organization/local-branch portal with Members, Students, Events, Directory, Notice Board, and Contact Us sections; behavioral testing recorded 0 external XHR requests, 0 hidden forms, and 0 wallet-drainer runs.
- Available external reputation checks recorded 0 malicious results, 0 suspicious results, no Google Safe Browsing malicious finding, and no confirmed blacklist finding; coverage was partial.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The site presents itself as the Gurugram branch of ICAI and describes ICAI as a statutory body established by an Act of Parliament under the administrative control of India’s Ministry of Corporate Affairs. That institutional description supports an apparently legitimate professional-body context, but it remains an on-site representation and does not independently verify the real-world operator of this particular domain. No specific licensing or registration number for the website operator was identified in the supplied content; this is a transparency item for routine confirmation, not evidence of a scam. No conflicting legal-entity names were observed, and the available broker-reputation dataset did not produce a matching warning; that contextual result is not a licensing or regulatory determination.
- The homepage contains the legal-status statement “Setup by an Act of Parliament” and names the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
- The site navigation exposes institutional sections including Present Managing Committee, Past Committee, Qualified Members, Qualified Students, and Contact Us.
- Hosting telemetry: served from AS13335 (Cloudflare).
- TLS telemetry: certificate issued by WE1 at DV validation level, valid to 2026-11-19.
What to Verify Next
Before credential or payment interactions, independently confirm that the domain is the current Gurugram Branch web address through an official ICAI channel or an independently obtained branch contact route. For event or training registrations, confirm that the destination, beneficiary, fee, receipt process, and applicable refund terms correspond to the intended branch activity. Any institutional affiliation or operator detail relied upon for a material transaction should be confirmed outside the website itself.
- The student area offers registration routes for ICITSS/AICITSS and reading-room access, creating a clear need to confirm the official destination before submission or payment.
- The site includes a Login entry and payment-related event links, although no sensitive login form or external password form was observed during testing.
- The contact page is available as an independent channel for matching event, registration, and payment details.
Summary Verdict
The available evidence supports a high-trust, low-risk posture consistent with an established, apparently legitimate institutional website. Its coherent organizational content, stable provenance, clean available reputation signals, and sound technical operation converge positively, while the real-world operator identity remains independently unverified; legitimacy is therefore apparent and evidence-consistent rather than proven.
Infrastructure Integrity
Cloudflare CDN/WAF protection is present, and the observed addresses are CDN edge infrastructure rather than a directly exposed origin. This reduces direct origin exposure and is a mitigating security signal, but protective hosting infrastructure is not proof of organizational legitimacy.
Closing Assessment
Ordinary browsing and routine site use are proportionate to the assessment, while independent confirmation of official affiliation and transaction details should precede credential submission or payment.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about icaigurugram.org at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present.
TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed.
