| CMA V Shanti Sireesha | Member | Visakhapatnam/Andhra Pradesh | The non inclusion of CMA in accountant definition is just not making CMA ineligible for tax audit but also denying other opportunities in public sector notifications and other audits and certifications. Though practically the course curriculum is same and the level of application of expertise is same. The recent frauds by CAs as showcased by NFRA is a standing example of monopoly and corruption in that profession. Anything enforced by law has weight and so is the CA profession. For example some of the fundamental rights were earlier a directive principle till it was enforced by law. We urge that our CMAs are professional and competent and has a legacy of first professional course serving the nation during world war ll. Request to uphold the dignity of this course on these lines. | 20 Feb 2025, 04:18 PM |

| Anita Pansare | Others | Pune ,Maharashtra | "I strongly support the inclusion of Cost Accountants in the definition of 'Accountant' under the Finance Bill 2025. It's noteworthy that Chartered Accountants are already recognized within this definition, yet Cost Accountants, who contribute equally to the sector, are not. Both professions play critical roles in maintaining the financial health and stability of our economy. Cost Accountants and Chartered Accountants work together to provide comprehensive financial services, ensure transparency, and drive business growth. It's only fair that both professions receive equal recognition. I urge the authorities to acknowledge the vital contributions of Cost Accountants and include them in the definition of 'Accountant' under the Finance Bill 2025, alongside Chartered Accountants." |

| Ridhi | Student | kolkata | CMA is as valuable as CA CS, so it should be included in new income tax act...and should be treated as important as CA,CS . | 20 Feb 2025, 04:16 PM |
| SHARAD NARAYAN MITHAGRI | Member | Thane | Inclusion of CMAs (Cost and Management Accountants) in the definition of Accountant as per IT Bill 2025, will lead to healthy competition in the area of Tax Audit besides increased efficiency and will in turn benefit the Assesses and Income Tax Department. The syllabus of ICMAI is more or less similar to ICAI and does cover in depth the subjects like Direct & Indirect Taxation, Finacial Accounting/ Reporting /Management . So, CMAs are equally competent for Tax Audit and must be given scope to do the Income Tax Audit by including CMAs in the definition of Accountant in IT Bill 2025. | 20 Feb 2025, 04:16 PM |

| Sanya Priya | Student | Bettiah | 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. |

| Swapnadeep Swain | Member | Bhubaneswar | CMAs possess expertise in taxation, compliance, and financial reporting, playing a crucial role in tax audits and assessments. Their exclusion creates an unfair disparity and limits their professional scope. Including CMAs in this definition would ensure fair competition, enhance tax compliance. We request an amendment to Section 515(3)(b) to recognize Cost Accountants as "Accountants" and allow them to contribute effectively to the taxation framework. |
