| Anjali Priya | Bettiah/Bihar | 1. Equal Recognition – Cost Accountants (CMAs) play a crucial role in taxation, financial management, and compliance. Excluding them from the definition of "Accountants" under Section 515(3)(b) would be unjustified and discriminatory. 2. Expertise in Taxation & Compliance – CMAs are well-trained in Direct & Indirect Taxation, Transfer Pricing, and Cost Audits. Their expertise aligns with the responsibilities of an "Accountant" under the Income Tax Act. 3. Global Recognition – Many countries recognize Cost & Management Accountants in taxation and compliance roles. Aligning Indian laws with global standards will strengthen the profession. 4. Ease of Doing Business – Allowing CMAs to practice under the Income Tax Act would expand the availability of qualified professionals, reducing compliance burdens for businesses and taxpayers. 5. Past Precedents & Legal Justifications – Reference to previous petitions, legal interpretations, and government committees that have acknowledged CMAs' role in taxation-related matters can strengthen the case. |
