| Harish Joshi | Member | Gurgaon | Hi, Please consider Cost Accountants name in the accountants definition as specified in Section 288. It is truly unfair to give equal opportunity to similar body and their members who actively working for honest and transparent work in the field of taxation. ACCA and ICOEW are equal opportunity in UK for tax and audit works. Then why there is a biased Tax law in India which favour to Chartered Accountants and creating their monopoly in the Indian market. We respect each and honourable members of Selective Committee and kindly requesting to give us opportunity in income tax Act too. You will proud of your decision later. I am working as Tax Head in one of well known MNC and handling my tax work with honesty and with transparency. I have seen in the past there are large numbers of CAs are advising to clients or customers about fraud billing, Wrong availment of input tax credit, forgery cash transaction, fake HUF accounts to move black money into white money. Therefore, give us a opportunity to serve in the direct tax matters, we will ensure you we will do our level best and you will proud on your decision later. | 20 Feb 2025, 12:08 AM |

| Jyoti Ranjan Patra | Member | Bhubaneswar, Odisha | CMA’s should be included in the definition of accountant as per the upcoming new income tax act. Apart from practice, in most Central PSUs and State PSUs, CMAs are heading the finance department including taxation. CMA curriculum covers advance taxation matters and I am sure if given opportunity in taxation field , we can create a very meaningful impact in the taxation landscape. | 20 Feb 2025, 12:06 AM |

| Harshit D Thaker | Member | Ahmedabad | Supporting the Inclusion of Cost and Management Accountants (CMAs) in the Definition of "Accountant" under the Income Tax Act I strongly advocate for the inclusion of Cost and Management Accountants (CMAs) in the definition of "Accountant" under the Income Tax Act. Ensuring equal recognition for CMAs alongside Chartered Accountants (CAs) will enhance efficiency, fairness, and accessibility in financial and tax-related matters. Rationale for Inclusion Professional Competence and Expertise CMAs, governed by the Institute of Cost Accountants of India (ICAI – CMA), possess extensive knowledge in taxation, accounting, and financial compliance. Their expertise makes them well-qualified to fulfill the responsibilities of an "Accountant" under the Income Tax Act. Parity with CMAs and CAs Major audit functions in India are already divided among professional bodies based on their expertise: Company Secretaries (CSs) conduct Secretarial Audits Cost and Management Accountants (CMAs) conduct Cost Audits Chartered Accountants (CAs) conduct Statutory Audits Given this structured division, it is only fair that Income Tax Audits and other tax-related functions recognize CMAs and CAs at par, ensuring a broader talent pool and increased efficiency in tax compliance. Enhancing Tax Compliance and Efficiency Including CMAs in the definition of "Accountant" will strengthen the tax compliance framework, ensuring businesses and taxpayers benefit from a wider range of skilled professionals for tax certifications and audits. Aligning with Global Best Practices Many countries recognize Cost and Management Accountants as tax professionals. Aligning India's tax laws with international standards will fortify the professional ecosystem and support India’s vision of becoming a global financial hub. By recognizing CMAs under the Income Tax Act, India can ensure a more inclusive, efficient, and globally competitive taxation framework while utilizing the expertise of CMAs and CAs in tax-related matters. |

| SHASHANK VERMA | Member | Uttar Pradesh | I strongly support the petition advocating for the inclusion of Cost Management Accountants (CMA) in the New Income Tax Act-2025. CMAs possess a unique and specialized skill set in cost accounting, management accounting, and financial analysis, which are vital for businesses in optimizing cost structures, ensuring efficiency, and maintaining transparency in financial operations. Incorporating CMAs into the New Income Tax Act would help enhance the accuracy and reliability of financial reporting, particularly in industries where cost control and budgeting play a crucial role in financial sustainability. Their expertise could significantly contribute to compliance with tax regulations, fostering a more accountable and efficient taxation system. In addition to their technical capabilities, CMAs have been instrumental in advising businesses on tax planning, budgeting, and internal financial controls. By recognizing CMAs in the tax framework, the government would be acknowledging the importance of their role in promoting sound financial practices within organizations, thus encouraging businesses to adopt better management practices and improving overall tax compliance. Furthermore, this inclusion would provide an opportunity to better utilize the expertise of CMAs to address complex financial matters that can directly impact tax assessments and filing processes. It would also create more employment and professional opportunities for CMAs, contributing to the development of the economy at large. I urge the authorities to consider this petition favorably, as it will not only recognize the valuable contributions of CMAs to the financial sector but also enhance the overall effectiveness of the income tax system in the country. |

| Sudipto Ghosh | Asansol | There is discrimination in the profession. CAs have a monopoly on tax audits.. Despite the capabilities of CMAs and CSs, they have long been denied their own rights. Now is the time to change and break that monopoly. CMAs and CSs are equally capable for tax audit because they both have direct tax subject in their respective curriculum of syllabus like CA. If, Tax audit is given to CMA and CS professionals then we can make professional world of India equal and reduce monopoly. Each of them can be known by their respective audits like CAs for financial audit, CMAs for cost audit and CSs for secretarial audit and most importantly all professionals will be recognised as tax auditors. It is earnest request to our finance minister to allow CMA and CS for tax audit and include them in accountant defination as per relevant provisions of new income tax bill.we will be very much greatful to you. We also can make future in practice | 19 Feb 2025, 11:27 PM | |
