Pls. also clarify me whether there is any exceptions for practicing Chartered Accountants...

Please read the article (on point of taxation by Mr. V S Datey) at following link:

Please refer to The Point of Taxation Rules, 2011 as amended:
Rule 3 has been amended to provide that the point of taxation shall be as follows:
(a) Date of invoice or payment, whichever is earlier, if the invoice is issued within the prescribed period of 14 days from the date of completion of the provision of service.
(b) Date of completion of the provision of service or payment, if the invoice is not issued within the prescribed period as above.
The applicability of the rule will be clear from the illustrations in the following table:
