The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (ICMAI) has taken a significant step by initiating a Member Referendum to decide on the potential relocation of its headquarters from Kolkata to Delhi. This decision was announced by the institute’s council through a post on ‘X,’ formerly known as Twitter, where they stated, “The Council of the Institute, in its 349th meeting dated October 27, 2023, in Ahmedabad, has passed a resolution to call for a referendum from its members on whether to shift the headquarters from Kolkata to Delhi or not.”

The response from the members of ICMAI on social media has been overwhelmingly positive. Many members believe that the proposed headquarters relocation to Delhi will be beneficial for the institute’s stakeholders, potentially enhancing the organization’s effectiveness and reach. However, it’s worth noting that there are also divergent opinions among the members. Some have suggested alternative locations for the headquarters, such as Bangalore, Pune, or Mumbai, indicating the complexity of the decision.
The decision to relocate the ICMAI headquarters has been a long-pending matter, and it appears that it will finally be resolved through the voting process involving the institute’s members. This democratic approach, soliciting the input of the members, demonstrates a commitment to transparency and inclusivity in making this important decision that will have a significant impact on the institute’s operations and future development. The outcome of the member vote will determine the new location of the ICMAI headquarters and is eagerly awaited by both the members and the broader community interested in the institute’s work.
