I'm confused between Indian Chartered Accountancy course and Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) course. What is the main difference between these two? And, which has more job opportunities? How much would I incur for CA and ACCA separately?

Difference between Indian CA and ACCA:-

ACCA has in total 14 subjects to be cleared, while to become Indian CA, you need to clear 19 subjects.

There is no concept of 'Groups' in a ACCA, you can individually clear each subject as aganist Indian CA

ACCA subject can be cleared with 50% marks, (while doing Indian CA, a subject gets exempted on attaining 60% marks which is valid for next three attempts, after your three failed attempts, you need to clear that subjects again.

ACCA has higher pass percentage

ACCA accepts your 3 year experience in finance and accounting field irrespective of interning under CCA or not. While doing CA, you compulsory need to do articleship under a practicing CA.
