Is this idea legal?


This query is : Open 

Quick Summary
The team behind onlineindiataxfilings.net is exploring the legality of a platform designed to connect Indian taxpayers with Chartered Accountants, similar to Fiverr but focused on tax services. They are seeking clarification on whether CAs are permitted to list themselves on such a website and are concerned about advertising restrictions. The discussion references ICAI guidelines regarding CAs and website listings.

07 September 2022 Hey!
We at https://onlineindiataxfilings.net are now looking to create a platform where taxpayers can connect with CAs and Chartered Accountants. Just like fiverr.com but with additional facilities and just determined to solve taxes in India.

Our query is that, is this idea legal? Means, are CAs allowed to do this kind of thing like listing themselves on a website... Also, if it is possible, will you be looking forward to join us on our journey?

No advertising allowed in your site.


07 September 2022 Thanks for your reply! Does this mean that CAs can't advertise on our website (like they cannot pay to be on the top results) or our whole website can't advertise anywhere?

07 September 2022 Yes you are right....

08 September 2022 Ohk thanks! We'll inform you once we are live!
