18 February 2025 sometimes I really wonder with this type of queries. Did you not study the basic Professional Ethics in CA final?

18 February 2025 Even though you study very much, at times certain things will not be clear unless you discuss to get the things clarified.
If you are no able to provide any answer better be quiet. don't post comments like this. Give respect and take respect.
I can also revert with some comments but not good
