A student asked ICAI officials this exact question in an interview. Here's what they said...

[{"selector":"#anim-beb6efce-9077-4ce7-a82c-09186f956e66 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(14.321428354932387%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6a95fe3b-d694-44cc-bac0-90abab97a29f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-850cae2f-da46-44ff-8054-15036efccdd2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -125.80479%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

ICAI official: "A student can receive up to 5 grace marks in one paper to reach 40 marks!"

"For overall aggregate marks, ICAI gives only 3 extra marks" (not 5!).
