Hey, their is no problem in adding CA(inter) in ur business card. You r not bound by ANY ethics so don't b bothered abt that, and moreover it will b an added edge to you.

If you are trying to deceive the Client by saying as Qualified then it is Ethical issue. Here the intention is not to present yourself as CA.you are not training to indulge in any misrepresentation of FActs.Apart from it no individual who wants CA signature will approach you.So those who approach you will be them who doesn't want a CA.

Thanks for the information. I'm currently working in UAE. I'm PMP certified and working in Project management, Quality and IT Service support - nowhere in accounts, but had a doubt of adding the words "CA(Inter)" behind my name, so that it will add more grace and help me in finding opportunities in IT cum Accounting projects. Please advice.

Yeah its not an ethical issue but my suggestion is to use "CA Intermediate" in place of CA(Inter). It is looking much better.

I think better not to use that designation Bcoz the same is going to be analysis by educated class,and in order to maintain your own dignity,such designations is to be possibly avoided.Tomorrow one will start writing CA (CPT),(PE1)(PE2),so on so forth..........................Better You complete C.A,fast,all the best.
