| Komal Rathod | Student | Bellary/Karnataka | As a student of ICMAI, I completely support for inclusion of CMA in the definition of "Accountants". Despite of the facts that we have gained immense knowledge about all the subjects that CA students too read, still our profession is discouraged saying we don't have much scope in the market. Including CMAs in new income tax act 2025 will be a great initiative for the growth of CMA profession. | 20 Feb 2025, 06:26 PM |

| Khatri Samirkumar | Student | Gujarat | As an emerging CMA Aspirant, I would like to say that we as CMA's learn & share equal values to our clients just as CA's do ,in terms of accounting, taxation, auditing, consultancy & other financial services .But since we are not allowed to participate in few jobs which CA are only eligible ( like Tax Audit, Bank Audit, Finalization of Accounts, etc..) doesn't means that we do not hold the right to be called as accountants. So it is my kind request to the Parliament to do look over in this matter & provide us with the needed justice. | 20 Feb 2025, 06:24 PM |

| Aman Gupta | Student | Giridih | Legal Recognition of Cost Accountants The Cost and Works Accountants Act, 1959, enacted by Parliament, recognizes the Institute of Cost Accountants of India (ICMAI) as a statutory body regulating the profession of Cost and Management Accountancy. Additionally, The Companies Act, 2013, assigns significant responsibilities to Cost Accountants, including cost auditing, compliance reporting, and corporate governance. Given such legal recognition, excluding them from the definition of "Accountant" in tax matters is unjustified | 20 Feb 2025, 06:19 PM |

| Asla | Student | Kerala | Respected Madam, At the outset, the Institute of Cost Accountants of India extends its welcome to the Income Tax Bill 2025, introduced on 13th February 2025. We acknowledge it as a significant milestone to simplify India's six-decade-old direct taxation structure. The Bill aims to streamline provisions, eliminate obsolete references, and establish a more concise and transparent legal framework. Empowering the CBDT with greater autonomy and introducing a structured framework for tax administration, the legislation is expected to reduce litigation and improve voluntary compliance. Once implemented, this reform can pave the way for a more efficient, accessible, and taxpayer-friendly system, aligning with India's evolving economic landscape. This clearly reflects the resolve of Govt. to introduce fundamental structural changes to achieve the goal of ease of doing business. The Institute and its members are determined to play our role and contribute effectively in realizing the Vision of Viksit Bharat@2047 and hereby submit a memorandum requesting the inclusion of "Cost Accountant" in the definition of "Accountant" under Section 515(3)(b) of the Income-Tax Bill, 2025. This inclusion will ensure greater representation in the business scenario, inclusivity, and utilization of the specialized skills of Cost Accountants in taxation and compliance-related activities under the evolving tax regime. We shall be happy to provide any further information your good office may require in this regard. We are confident that your good office will give due consideration to our appeal. We also seek an appointment to meet you in person on your convenient date & time to discuss and present our submission. Thanking you, |
