| Bidroha Ratna Mahakul | Member | Odisha | Cost Accountants are well competent to deal with matters of income tax. Also, not just the qualification they hold but they have proved their capabilities of serving many govt and PSU organisations in various fields including taxation and dealing with tax laws. keeping CA's only in the definition of "Accountant" will create monopoly in tax matters which will lead to serious fraud, delay in tax compliance due to insufficient number of Accountants ( CA's only). So, it is very much required and the govt to rethink about INCLUSION OF "COST ACCOUNTANT" IN THE DEFINITION OF "ACCOUNTANT" as per Income Tax Act, to create sufficient numbers of Accountants to deal with income tax compliance. |

| Amogh Mishra | Student | HOWRAH | As a CMA Intermediate student, I strongly support the inclusion of Cost and Management Accountants (CMAs) in the New Income Tax Act-2025. CMAs possess specialized expertise in taxation, cost management, and financial compliance, making them well-equipped to contribute to tax planning, assessment, and compliance processes. Recognizing CMAs in the new tax law will not only enhance efficiency in tax administration but also create more opportunities for qualified professionals, ultimately benefiting businesses and the economy. I urge the authorities to acknowledge the role of CMAs in the tax framework and provide them with the rightful recognition they deserve. | 20 Feb 2025, 10:47 AM |

| VIJAY KACHARIYA | Member | Surat | 1. ICMAI has a disciplinary mechanism in place which is required to keep check on the auditing professionals. Further, it has prescribed code of conduct, Peer review mechanism as well Quality Review Board (QRB) to ensure quality auditing services are rendered by its member 2.Recognition as at par under all other Statutes- – Goods and Services Tax [GST] – Companies Act as an Internal Auditor (sec 138) – Co-operatives Societies Act in States like Karnataka, Maharashtra, HP, West Bengal – Tax Return Preparer (Amendment) Scheme, 2018 – Erstwhile Central Excise Act & Service Tax Act – Income Tax Act as Authorised representative & Audit of Inventory Valuation (Sec 142 A) – CMAs are recognized by statutory bodies for professional services in RBI, IRDAI, SEBI, IBA, MCA, IBBI, CCI, NPPA, TRAI, CERC, IFSCA, NABARD, NSDL, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Ministry of Textiles and many others. 3.Allowing CMA would ensure healthy competition which is very much required in open economy. It will definitely benefit the tax administration system as well as the assesses, especially the MSME assesses 4. CMA with their techno commercial skills will be able to provide value added auditing services apart from regular compliances checks which may bring more effectiveness in Tax administration system. Further, increased availability of professionals will ensure timely compliances, avoiding extensions, & competitive pricing of auditing services which will be benefiting both Tax Administration as well as Taxpayers |

| ALAQMAR RUBBERSTAMPWALA | Student | Ujjain | Government gave us the assurance for equality but like always it is showing its true colours by not fulfilling the said promises given to professionals, I think government should re think about their accountant definition in income tax act and should grant equality to CMA. | 20 Feb 2025, 10:31 AM |
| Vinoth kumar S | Walajabad, kanchipuram | As a Final Level Student, I know how much of Direct Tax and Audit are we studying. We are studying nothing less than of what CA students are studying in those two areas . But why are only CAs qualify to be a Tax Auditor and not us? It is unfair to disqualify us. Moreover in the Direct Tax Code Bill, 2013, we have been included in the definition of accountant and we also have been assured not earlier than 2 months before passing the new Income tax Bill, 2025 that, the Direct tax code bill passed will be enacted soon. But we are shocked to see that only CAs are included in the accountant Definition. This restricts professional practicing exposure of the members of our institute. Our institute is also established under law passed in the Parliament. | 20 Feb 2025, 10:31 AM |
