FAQ :
The Supreme Court has removed the requirement for Chartered Accountants (CAs) to have a minimum of 25 years of experience to be appointed as technical members in tribunals.
This clarification applies to various tribunals, including the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT).
The Supreme Court found the 25-year experience requirement to be arbitrary, discriminatory, and unconstitutional, as it effectively meant CAs could only be considered after turning 50, similar to a provision previously struck down for advocates.
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) argued that since the court had already removed a similar age and experience requirement for advocates, the same logic should apply to CAs.
The Supreme Court has directed the Union Government to keep this observation in mind when framing new laws for tribunal appointments.
