Dear All Member,

I am a practising CA in Chennai. I would like to know that whether i can sign tax audit report of another city where i dont have a branch? and while signing in case of place which city should i mention , Chennai or the city where i am signing the Balance sheet ?

If a person takes the HRA from the com but not submitted the rent agreement, then the entire HRA is taxable. But at the time of filing the return, can he take the deduction by showing the amount of Rent he has paid to his landlord?

In this case, the amount taxable under the head salary will be different than what is shown in Form 16. Is it acceptable?

Can a CA in service take the agency of anything like LIC, Mutual Fund?
