My query is Can a CA do a business in his own name other than practicing while he is having COP, and if yes, does he needs to inform to ICAI about the business and what details need to be informed.
Ok, let me explain you the scenario, I have a proprietorship registered under GST having business of trading of construction material, So can i do this business in my name and can apply for COP with having this business also.
Practicing CA can't do any other business aprt from practice, in his own name. If he is doing any other business then he has to inform and also take the permission from icai.
