| CMA Pradeep Muduli | Member | Cuttack/Odisha | I would like to specify some valid reasons why we should be treated as Accountant 1.Comprehensive education: Our syllabus covers all taxation aspects, similar to a Chartered Accountant (CA) syllabus. 2.Expertise in tax laws and regulations: we're well-versed in Income Tax and GST Act laws and regulations.Thats the reason we are eligible for GST Audit then why not for Tax audit. 3.The term "Accountant" is already embedded in the title "Cost Accountant".This implies that a Cost Accountant is, by definition, an accountant who specializes in cost accounting. Therefore, the phrase "Cost Accountant" inherently includes the concept of an accountant. 4.Illogical Presentation by CA institute: The CA institute's argument appears to be based on protecting their turf rather than logical, fact-based reasoning.As they don't have any valid reason that's why they are only diverting the topic by saying Tax audit is our forte.Its not a positive sign of a democratic country like India to maintain the monopoly of one profession by eroding the value of another profession. 5.Historical Timing:If Our ACT had been enacted simultaneously with CA then we all would have treated as equal.Due to some time gap they got the status only and it becomes their forte. Conclusions:I Strongly believe that the our country will give equal opportunities to all the professionals as per their efforts and expertise rather based on illogical facts to maintain unfair monopoly of a particular sector,if not Give us a VALID REASON only |

| Rakesh Bal | Student | Kolkata | It's not only open the door to practice but also ends the reservation in industry. Case name "Ruchir agarwal vs PESB" delhi high court said CA degree is more preferable over CMA degree for the post of director of finance in IOCL . CA is preferable over CMA degree because CA has more statutory recognition but in reality thousand CMA's are director finance, cfo in big companies. It's a biggest drawback for CMA'S BCG of this kind of reservation. Plz end the end the special reservation like this. | 22 Feb 2025, 04:57 PM |

| Chanchal K Sinha | Member | Kolkata | Inclusion of Cost Accountants in the Definition of "Accountant" under the Income Tax Act The role of a Cost Accountant is integral to financial management, cost control, and tax compliance in businesses across various industries. However, the current definition of "Accountant" under the Income Tax Act does not explicitly recognize Cost Accountants, limiting their ability to certify certain financial and tax-related matters. Reasons for Inclusion: Expertise in Financial and Taxation Matters Cost Accountants, qualified under the Institute of Cost Accountants of India (ICMAI), possess in-depth knowledge of financial analysis, taxation, compliance, and cost management. Their expertise aligns with the requirements of the Income Tax Act, making them well-suited for roles involving tax audit, assessment, and advisory services. Alignment with Global Practices Many developed economies recognize Cost and Management Accountants as professionals authorized to certify financial statements and tax-related documents. Aligning Indian tax laws with international standards would enhance the credibility and efficiency of financial reporting. Enhancing Compliance and Transparency Including Cost Accountants in the definition of "Accountant" would improve compliance by expanding the pool of qualified professionals available to businesses. This would contribute to better financial governance and more effective tax administration. Parity with Other Accounting Professionals Recognizing Cost Accountants under the Income Tax Act would ensure a level playing field among qualified accounting professionals, allowing businesses to leverage their specialized skills for tax compliance and financial reporting. Conclusion Expanding the definition of "Accountant" to include Cost Accountants would strengthen financial governance, support businesses with expert tax advisory, and align Indian regulations with global best practices. This inclusion would not only benefit taxpayers but also enhance the overall efficiency of tax administration. |

| Sharmishtha Padalikar | Member | Alibag maharashtra | As our institute name itself include the word accountant. According to definition of accountant in income tax Act 1961 only Chartered accountant are accountant. According to act an accountant is able to conduct income Tax audit. But tax audit is one type of an audit. An auditor is an independent professional who examines and verifies the accuracy of a company’s financial records and reports. Auditors are responsible for ensuring that financial statements are accurate and in compliance with various laws and regulations also provide assurance that an organisation’s financial statements are free from misstatements and fraud. So cost accountant can defiantly act as auditor and accountant in the domain of income tax also like other indirect tax. |
