| Sriram.M | Student | Tamilnadu | Equal rights for the CMA's. ICMAI was formed in 1959 just before 2 years ago from Income tax act ,1961 that's why CMA's didn't included in the definition of accountant.

| Prasath | Student | Perambalur | "I strongly support the inclusion of *Cost Accountants* in the definition of 'Accountant' under Section 515(3)(b) of the proposed *Income Tax Bill 2025*. Cost Accountants play a crucial role in financial management, cost auditing, and tax planning, ensuring efficiency and compliance. Their inclusion in tax-related matters would bring fairness and optimize their expertise for national benefit. Globally, many countries recognize their role in taxation and financial decision-making, and India should align with these best practices. Recognizing Cost Accountants will strengthen corporate governance, enhance economic policies, and contribute to the nation's financial growth." |

| Surya Narayan Acharya | Member | Bhubaneswar | Including Cost Accountants as “Accountants” in the new Income Tax Bill is essential for ensuring a broader, more efficient, and specialized financial compliance system. Here are the key reasons why Cost Accountants should be included: 1. Expertise in Cost and Management Accounting Cost Accountants are experts in cost structures, financial controls, and pricing strategies. Their inclusion in taxation matters will improve tax assessment accuracy, especially for businesses dealing with cost optimization and GST compliance. 2. Specialization in Indirect Taxation & Transfer Pricing Cost Accountants play a significant role in GST compliance, valuation under Customs, and transfer pricing. Since GST law already recognizes Cost Accountants, including them in direct tax matters will create uniformity across tax regulations. 3. Strengthening Tax Audit & Compliance Cost Accountants are qualified to analyze cost records, pricing policies, and financial controls, which are crucial for tax audits, reconciliation of financial statements, and detecting tax evasion. 4. Global Recognition & Industry Demand Countries like the USA, UK, and Canada recognize Management Accountants (CMA/CPA) in tax matters. India should align with global standards and allow Cost Accountants to provide taxation-related services. 5. Supporting MSMEs & Industrial Sectors Most MSMEs, manufacturing industries, and service sectors rely on Cost Accountants for cost efficiency and financial planning. Allowing them to provide tax-related services will reduce compliance costs and improve tax governance. 6. Bridging the Gap in the Taxation Ecosystem Currently, only Chartered Accountants (CAs) are recognized under the Income Tax Act. However, tax compliance involves costing, pricing, and operational analysis, which falls under the expertise of Cost Accountants. Their inclusion will bring diversity and efficiency in tax audits and compliance. 7. Encouraging Fair Competition in the Accounting Profession Recognizing Cost Accountants as Accountants under the Income Tax Act will ensure a level playing field among financial professionals, reducing monopoly and increasing choices for taxpayers. |
