Also they are well equipped with different aspects like taxation,economy etc. Hence inclusion of CMAs under definition will promote healthy competition and recognition. | 20 Feb 2025, 03:22 PM |

| Noorul Ameen | Student | Malappuram/Kerala | I strongly believe that CMAs are eligible to be included in in the definition of "Accountant" in income tax act. As a student i can assure that icmai has included in-depth syllabus for direct taxation | 20 Feb 2025, 03:21 PM |
| Jay Prakash Sahu | Student | Bhilai, Chhattisgarh | 20 Feb 2025, 03:21 PM | |
| Aman Srivastav | Student | Kolkata | Cma shall be included in the definition of accountant because direct tax syllabus of final level required a extensive study of income tax act | 20 Feb 2025, 03:21 PM |
| Mokshit Mehta | Student | Pali/Rajasthan | India lacks basic knowledge we calling ourself a good educated persons but we don't even know what an education is, every time you'll go anywhere and if you're pursuing cma people will be like "which course is this we haven't heard of it.. is it CA?" even though all three professionals play their important role in society but the recognition to CMA's are always less the institute should also get some recognition itself and we have to prove to the country what's our worth. I totally support the cause of the petition that cma should also be included in the term of "accountants" it will open various opportunities for the upcoming future CMA's..Thankyou. | 20 Feb 2025, 03:20 PM |

20 Feb 2025, 03:19 PM |
| JNANENDRA KUMAR JENA | Member | ANGUL | Since Cost Accountant well trained both in Cost Accountancy and Financial Accounting along with deep insight into legal and tax law, hence in the defination of Accountant Cost Accountant must be included | 20 Feb 2025, 03:19 PM |
| Puja kumari | Student | Dhanbad | The exclusion of cost accountant from the definition of "Accountant" has created uncertainty and concern within the profession. This exclusion could place Cost Accountant at a competitive disadvantage compared to other accounting professionals who are explicitly included in the definition. It sends a message that Cost Accountant are not considered equivalent to other accounting professionals in the eyes of the law, potentially diminishing their professional standing. This does injustice to one profession who are equally qualified and competent by virtue of standards and capabilities. CMAs are more competent to correctly certify and enable better tax compliance. By changing the definition of "accountant" under the Income Tax Act would, in fact, will create healthy competition which is very much required in open economy. |
