Hi Friends,

                     One of my relative needs to submit some documents of his business to the sales tax and some other tax authorities. For this matter the documents are to be signed by a chartered accountant. I have a friend who isa CA working in a Pvt company.    

                           My question is that whether a Chartered Accountant who does not hold certificate of practice can sign tax related douments for submitting to tax authorities/ and to banks etc ? Please reply

            The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India has informed that with a view to strengthening the process of certification being issued by chartered accountants, they have hosted a link https://220.227.161.82/locm.asp on ICAI website, to enable anyone to seek confirmation to the effect that certificate received by him has been issued by a member of the Institute holding full time Certificate of Practice (i.e. a member authorized to issue such a certificate).  This will ensure that none of the authorities act on the certificates issued either by non members or members not holding Certificate of Practice. 

 

All RAs to make use of the above facility to confirm about the membership of the chartered accountants.

 

This issues with the approval of competent authority.
