Well done by MCA. This CA institute is crossing all limits in recent times. It said to supreme court that it is charitable eucational institution and eligible for Income tax exemption on its income. But it also says it is a regulator to the CA profession. Some authorities should interefere to stop this business mockery. CA institute unable to take the extreme weight of CA exams and is crumbling under pressure. Look at Bar council, Medical council etc… they are not claiming to be both Educator and Regulator at the same time. What this CA institute is doing is utter chaos and non-sense all without any authority. Beat them hard and beat them well so let them learn a lesson to conduct properly. Is it a Educator or Is it a regulator- But cannot be both. Some one please stop this double jeopardy.
