| BISWANATH NAYAK | Member | Bhubaneswar | By clearly defining "Accountants" as a cost accountant under this section, it sets a standard for qualifications and responsibilities. This ensures that only professionals with the right training and expertise are recognized in official capacities, ensuring that financial reporting and taxation practices are held to a higher standard. A well-defined professional role in the tax act helps ensure that only qualified professionals can sign off on financial statements, preventing errors or misuse. This is essential for maintaining the integrity of the income tax system and ensuring accurate financial records for the tax authorities. By supporting the definition of "Accountants" as a cost accountant in the proposed Income Tax Act-2025, you may be advocating for a more structured, professional approach to taxation and business practices, while improving clarity and compliance in the system. |

| Pratibha Majhi | Student | Khordha | Hii I m a cma final student. I definitely think cost account should be included in the definition of accountants.

| Dhananjoy Acharja | Member | Durgapur | I am Cost Accountant and working ITC Ltd Finance department. I would like to bring to your attention a long pending issue regarding the definition of " accountant" under new DTC to include CMA also. ICMAI is recognised body formed under parliament act under 1959 . CMA is also authorised to audit GST as per new GST act 2017 . We are authorised in various banks to do special audit. To robust growth our economy it is much better that a healthy compitition is required in accounting field to include CMA direct tax audit and break the Monopoly of one institute which will bring fair practice. |

| Abhishek Kashyap | Student | Delhi | The syllabus, difficulty level, and expertise of CMAs and CAs are at par, yet the proposed Income Tax Act, 2025, excludes CMAs from the definition of "Accountant." This discrimination must end. Qualified CMAs possess deep expertise in taxation, accounting, and finance, with a detailed Direct Tax syllabus. They are fully capable of conducting tax audits and ensuring compliance. As India aims to become a $5 trillion economy and a global leader under initiatives like "Make in India" and "Viksit Bharat," it is crucial to empower all finance professionals. It is time to rectify past mistakes and recognize CMAs as "Accountants" in the new Income Tax Act. |

| Vinay R Paswan | Student | Mumbai | Respected Members, It is an humble request to to add CMA in the definition of Income tax act 2025 | 20 Feb 2025, 11:17 AM |
| Kunal Mittal | Student | Beawar/Rajasthan | I would strongly belive that CMA should also be included in the definition of accountant in the new Income Tax Act as they have all the knowledge related to the field and many industries rely on CMAs for financial planning and analysis. Recognizing them as accountants meets the growing demand for specialized financial expertise. 2. They possess strong knowledge over the subject and have it thoroughly. Each and every concept is covered in their module and they can provide better insights for the broad scope of the field. 3. As the Income Tax Act is same for each profession, CMA’s can conduct audit also and they have a great command over the subject. 4. CMAs contribute significantly to business strategy, financial analysis. Their inclusion in the definition ensures businesses benefit from a diverse set of accounting professionals. 5. Our module include each and every concept of Income Tax Act and it will only get better with time. CMA’s also have great command and knowledge in financial management, cost accounting, budgeting, and strategic decision-making. By each and every point mentioned above it is only beneficial for the government to include CMA’s in the definition of Accountant. I can vouch as a student of the respective institution that we have a great knowledge of the Act and there is no reason to not include in the definition. Thankyou |

| Jiya Dipesh Shah | Student | Bhuj | We request the inclusion of Cost and Management Accountants (CMAs) as recognized tax professionals in the Income Tax Act, 2025. CMAs play a crucial role in tax planning, compliance, and financial management, yet their statutory recognition remains limited. Key Requests: 1. Recognize CMAs as authorized tax practitioners. 2. Allow CMAs to conduct tax audits and certify tax documents. 3. Ensure equal opportunities for CMAs in taxation practice. Including CMAs will enhance tax compliance and financial governance. We urge you to amend the new tax law accordingly. |
