    Dear Sandeep Kanoi
    I support your view, as you said CAs are scapegoats in banking industry too. But there are GANJA plants in Tulsi Garden and some of our community are employing bad practices, they should be eliminated

    Well done by the concerned authorities. It is require to treat a chartered accountant who has acted on behalf of somebody. His practicing license should be banned by our esteem Institute ( The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. )
