15 December 2011 As per Clause 10 of Part I of The Second Schedule to Code of Ethics , a practicing member can keep moneys of his / her client's in a separate bank account or to use such moneys for purposes for which they are intended.
In view of the above, a Chartered Accountant is allowed to make e-payment of taxes from a separate bank account maintained exclusively for this purpose and also he/she has to ensure that there are no other transactions in this account and it should be used exclusively for the purpose of e-payment of taxes of his/her clients.
