The central government is considering amendments to the laws regulating Chartered Accountants (CAs) to ease restrictions on advertising by professionals and their firms.

The proposed changes are expected to help CAs promote their services more effectively, win new assignments, and drive business growth, particularly for small and mid-sized firms looking to expand their reach and compete globally.
