The Karnataka State Chartered Accountants Association (KSCAA) writes to the government requesting the inclusion of CA to the Priority Group to enable early vaccination.
The KSCAA wrote that as there is a shortage in the supply of Vaccines in the State, KSCAA on behalf of all the CA’s in the state humbly implore upon your good selves to do the needful in prioritising the vaccination of CA’s, their staff and families of age group 18 to 44 by classifying the CA’s as Priority Group.
“This measure of your good selves should help to ensure that our CA members, their staff and their families can quickly get their vaccinations done especially at locations outside Bengaluru where there are no private hospitals providing this service. Aside from expediency and priority in vaccination, the classification of our CA members as Priority Group would also help our CA members and their staff to undertake performance of their professional functions and assignments smoothly, efficiently and most effectively as Lock down restrictions would relatively be relaxed to them,” the letter addressing the Dr. K Sudhakar, Minister, Health and Family Welfare Department said.
To reiterate, from now onwards until January 2022 there are a myriad of statutory and regulatory compliances that are due to be met by taxpayers which could not be just possible and even envisaged without the active involvement and rendition of services by CA members and their staff. Therefore, it becomes all the more important to categorise our CA members as PRIORITY GROUP to perform their Functions in a smooth and unhindered way having regard and subject to adherence to limited restrictions or protocol, if any Government places.
“We are Optimistic that, your good selves would definitely make an ‘all out’ effort to ensure that necessary steps are taken in this regard to provide much needed relief by classifying CA‘s as PRIORITY GROUP and therebyhelp expediting vaccination of our CA members, their staff and their families and also help ensure that our CA members and their staff perform their functions in a very smooth, efficient and most effective manner,” the KSCAA on behalf of all the CAs wrote.
