| Daki Rad | Others | Ahmedabad | CMA with their techno commercial skills will be able to provide value added auditing services apart from regular compliances checks which may bring more effectiveness in Tax administration system. Further, increased availability of professionals will ensure timely compliances, avoiding extensions, & competitive pricing of auditing services which will be benefiting both Tax Administration as well as Taxpayers. | 20 Feb 2025, 04:08 PM |

| Pratik Anil Pansare | Pune , Maharashtra | "I wholeheartedly support the petition to include Cost Accountants in the definition of 'Accountant' as per the Finance Bill 2025. As a concerned professional student, I recognize the significant contributions Cost Accountants make to the financial sector. Their expertise in cost management, financial analysis, and strategic planning is invaluable. Including Cost Accountants in the definition of 'Accountant' is a matter of fairness, recognition, and parity. It acknowledges their critical role in maintaining the integrity of financial systems and promoting informed decision-making. I urge the authorities to consider this petition and amend the Finance Bill 2025 accordingly, ensuring that Cost Accountants receive the recognition they deserve." |

| Leeva Mariya | Student | Thrissur, Kerala | Here's my response: The proposed change in the definition of "accountant" in the Income Tax Act to include only Chartered Accountants (CAs) for tax audit purposes has sparked a heated debate among Cost and Management Accountants (CMAs). As a CMA student, I strongly believe that this change would be unfair and discriminatory towards CMAs. Here's why: 1. *CMAs are equally qualified*: CMAs have undergone rigorous training and have acquired expertise in financial management, cost accounting, and management accounting. They are equally capable of conducting tax audits. 2. *Restricting competition*: By allowing only CAs to conduct tax audits, the proposed change would restrict competition and create a monopoly. This would lead to higher costs for taxpayers and reduced innovation in the field. 3. *Ignoring CMA expertise*: CMAs have specialized knowledge in areas like cost accounting, management accounting, and financial management. Ignoring their expertise in tax audits would be a loss for taxpayers and the economy. 4. *Violating equality principles*: The proposed change would violate the principles of equality and non-discrimination. CMAs have the same rights as CAs to practice and provide services to clients. In conclusion, I strongly oppose the proposed change in the definition of "accountant" in the Income Tax Act. |

| Manikandan B | Student | Tamilnadu | We need Tax Audit | 20 Feb 2025, 03:54 PM |
| Pravin Sable | Member | Navi Mumbai | The role of Cost & Management Accountants (CMAs) is pivotal in financial planning, cost management, and taxation. Excluding CMAs from the new Income Tax Act-2025 would undermine their significant contributions to tax compliance, assessment, and advisory services. CMAs possess deep expertise in financial analysis, cost optimization, and tax structuring, making them well-equipped to support businesses and the government in ensuring accurate tax compliance and revenue enhancement. Their inclusion in the new tax framework will strengthen professional integrity, enhance tax governance, and provide businesses with wider access to qualified professionals. I strongly support the petition for recognizing CMAs in the new Income Tax Act-2025. | 20 Feb 2025, 03:54 PM |
