| Abhishek Jain | Student | Mangalore | Oh, so now we’re just handing out Tax Audit work to anyone who throws a tantrum? Sure, why not! Let’s add CMA, BCom, CS, and even a 10th fail to the mix—because qualifications clearly don’t matter anymore. Ever wonder why they weren’t included in the first place? No? Too busy protesting for random nonsense? Guess that's what CMA’s curriculum is teaching these days—how to demand what you haven’t earned. Conclusion: You weren’t meant for this. Accept it. | 01-03-2025 |

| Raviteja Gorjirla | Student | Hyderabad | The Income Tax Bill 2025 has sparked a controversy by excluding Cost Accountants (CMAs) from the definition of 'Accountant' for tax audits. The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (ICMAI) has been advocating for the inclusion of CMAs in the definition of "Accountant" for over five years ¹. The ICMAI argues that CMAs should be recognized as accountants under the Income Tax Bill 2025, citing their expertise in taxation, compliance, and financial analysis ². They point out that CMAs are already recognized as internal auditors under the Companies Act 2013 and are authorized to conduct statutory financial audits under various state legislations. The exclusion of CMAs from the definition of "Accountant" may limit competition in the field of taxation and auditing, as only Chartered Accountants (CAs) are currently recognized as accountants under the bill ¹. The ICMAI is urging the government to reconsider the definition of "Accountant" to include CMAs and promote a more inclusive and competitive tax ecosystem. *Key Points:* - *Exclusion of CMAs*: The Income Tax Bill 2025 excludes Cost Accountants (CMAs) from the definition of "Accountant" for tax audits. - *ICMAI's Advocacy*: The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (ICMAI) has been advocating for the inclusion of CMAs in the definition of "Accountant" for over five years. - *Expertise of CMAs*: CMAs have expertise in taxation, compliance, and financial analysis, making them capable of contributing effectively to India's evolving tax regime. - *Recognition under Other Laws*: CMAs are recognized as internal auditors under the Companies Act 2013 and are authorized to conduct statutory financial audits under various state legislations. | 28-02-2025 |
