06 September 2016 Dear Sir/Mam, I have applied for membership on 25th july 2016 and today got a mail from Dr.Deepak chanda(deepak.chanda@icai.in) asking for providing proof of belonging to OBC(other backward caste) as i have no provided it alobg with aoolication for membership(i.e. form-2), as per my knowledge in form-2 their is no option of caste category. Whereas i also do not belong to OBC. i request u all to please provide me appropriate suggestion what should i do now.

06 September 2016 Such kind of mail appears to be somewhat suspicious and fake. Try to call up members section of ICAI and inform them about such mail being sent from ICAI id. The official id will be something like your.name@icai.org and in this case it is ending as your.name@icai.in which looks to be somewhat fishy.

And fully agree that Institute does not have any columns reserved for asking any caste information in FORM 2. Hence, be fully cautious and do not reply to such mails. Normally, ICAI does not seek such information, even if it needs it, you will be intimated through post and not by email.

Hence, be careful and do not divulge any of your details to that mail id unless you get official confirmation.

06 September 2016 Just wanted to bring to your notice, during the course of some research from my end I happened to see this name five years ago being appearing, it is there in CCI which I am pasting it for your reference - https://www.caclubindia.com/forum/details.asp?mod_id=18764&offset=1

However, Our Institute generally allots .org as the mail id ending and not .in, Kindly watch out for the difference.

And as suggested by you i will call the members to tomorrow and inform them for the same.
