| Suchitra behera | Odisha | As a cost accountant we also have the competences to do tax audit.. if we're not into the definition of Accountant then why the word Accountant has been used in our Course itself.. | 20 Feb 2025, 11:47 AM | |
| ROHITH SUNKARA | Others | UNGUTURU | Incorporating Cost and Management Accountants (CMAs) into the definition of "Accountant" under the new Income Tax Bill is crucial for improving tax compliance, reducing professional monopolies, and enhancing financial governance. CMAs, governed by the Institute of Cost Accountants of India (ICAI)—a statutory body established by the Government of India—are as qualified as Chartered Accountants (CAs) and possess specialized skills in costing, taxation, and financial analysis. Their inclusion would challenge the ICAI’s monopoly, encouraging healthy competition and elevating service quality. This change could reduce tax evasion, increase transparency, and ensure accurate financial reporting by introducing diverse professional perspectives. It would also make expertise more accessible to taxpayers, expand the pool of professionals available for audits and certifications, and align with international best practices that support the operation of multiple professional bodies. Ultimately, recognizing CMAs will fortify the nation’s financial framework, encourage fair competition, and ensure a stronger tax administration, contributing to sustainable economic growth. | 20 Feb 2025, 11:47 AM |

| Samreen begum | Student | Hyderabad | When both the students are keeping equal efforts then why can't they get equal opportunities. By the CA'S are less as per the guidelines of MCA in order to improve towards the development of our country. Being a responsible person each and every CMA is working hard to increase the exports . With the help of exports are The value of CURRENCY increase and hence, the value of "DOLLAR" decreases. And hence India will be known as a developed country. # JUSTICE FOR CMA ... it's not just a profession it's about our life's and our efforts. ICMAI got established in 1959 And then also in the previous INCOME TAX ACT 1960 their was non inclusion of CMA'S.. it's a request to the finance minister from all the students and members to include the CMA'S in the definition of Accountant in Sec 515(3)(b) of Income Tax Bill 2025. # Waiting for a positive support from the Finance minister |

| SANJIV KUMAR SAHU | Member | BHOPAL/MADHYA PRADESH | ncluding Cost and Management Accountants (CMAs) in the definition of "Accountant" under the new Income Tax Bill is essential for enhancing tax compliance, reducing professional monopoly, and strengthening financial governance. CMAs, governed by the Institute of Cost Accountants of India (ICAI)—a statutory body formed by the Government of India—are equally qualified as Chartered Accountants (CAs) and possess specialized expertise in costing, taxation, and financial analysis. Their inclusion will break the ICAI’s monopoly, fostering healthy competition and improving service quality. This step can reduce tax evasion, enhance transparency, and ensure accurate financial reporting by offering multiple professional viewpoints. It will also increase accessibility for taxpayers, provide the government with a broader pool of experts for audits and certifications, and align with global best practices where multiple professional bodies operate. Ultimately, recognizing CMAs will strengthen the nation’s financial ecosystem, promote fair competition, and ensure robust tax administration for sustainable economic growth. | 20 Feb 2025, 11:27 AM |
