The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), considering the atrocities and ill-treatment faced by the Chartered Accountants community, has decided to form a Group of Members to interact with such authorities in such matters.
This is in the light of the recent incident where the Chartered Accountants have call for a protest against the malicious arrest of two chartered accountants detained by DGGI, Gurgaon CGST Department for 48 hours on grounds of their alleged involvement in giving unjust enrichment certificate in a GST refund matter.
A press release of the Institute yesterday stated that the matter related to the recent arrest of Chartered Accountants and other instances of ill- treatment of CAs by investigating authorities was discussed today in the Council of The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI).
“The Council members expressed their strong resentment on the manner in which certain Investigating Officers are treating CAs and directly resorting to arrests. The Council was also apprised of the strong feelings of members throughout the country regarding ill-treatment being meted to certain members rather than taking strong action against the actual perpetrators,” the press release said.
It was added that “the Council of ICAI resolved to form a Group comprising of its members to interface with authorities in order to ensure that just and fair treatment is meted out to Chartered Accountants and that they are not made soft targets.”
