Institute of Chartered Accountants of India Complaints & Reviews

This is with regard to payment of my membership fees, membership no: 417860. I have made the payment on 30th september 2018. However the transaction was showing as not received by merchant bank. So to avoid late fees i immediately made payment from other account. However, the amount got deducted from my bank account, and the bank confirmed it as valid transaction. Please confirm that the institute has received double payment and the same will be refunded to me.

Institute is showing as two invoices of membership fees paid for 2018-19 and has neither refunded nor intimated me to refund the same.

I had ordered ipcc indirect taxes book for may 2018 exams on march 17 2018 and also pay money for the same.

14 days are over and till now i didn't get my books. There is no response from either icai or the courier company... They just keep providing different contact number which no one is ready to answer... This is the worst thing to happen with a student.. Our studies are lacking because of this stupidity... Atleast icai should take the responsibility...

Kindly do the needful.

Dear sir,
I have appeared for ca exams many times. Still i am not able to clear and the reason given by everyone was that you need to have luck to clear ca exams.
I prepared well and also presented well, still can't digest why i scored such low marks. Discussed with my friends regarding this and they were telling me that the institute has changed a lot and they will segregate the papers based on the pass percentage fixed. If this basis is followed why do you consider this is an exam. I am very much worried that even the education system has changed a lot and students are attempting suicide because of you people. How are you going to pay for this???
Please consider this as much as important. If a person who works hard scores 40 and the person who doesn't even touch his book also scores 40 then that is the situation you people push the students to go for a wrong decision.
Please consider this as much as important and do the needful.

The institute of chartered accountants of india is most respectful statutory body of india. The icai is the second largest professional body of chartered accountants in the world and also is recognized as a premier accounting body for maintaining highest standards in technical, ethical areas and sustaining stringent examination and education standards. Chartered accountancy as a profession known for its professional excellence, integrity and an ideal for certifying financial statement of the country. It is amongst the most reputed professions.
But, the recent plethora of events during the ca final examination results declared on 17th january 2018 the faith on the respected institute has been shattered. The ca final results declared was contradictory with the gazette list published by the institute from its own database. However the reason given by honourable institute for inclusion of our names in the gazette list seems unsatisfactory and opaque. It seems that we are living with the mercy of our honourable institute where they randomly decide and control the result of the students.
On more detailed analysis of all mark sheets we observed that the institute seems to have deliberately reduced marks of students who are near to total of 200 marks. Students even after having performed satisfactorily well and being declared successfully passed in ca final examinations in the icai’s own database, the results are manipulated. This kind of acts and manipulation in results degrades the reputation of the institute. We believe that the most reputed professional institute like icai should not tamper result nor they should compromise careers of students.

Accordingly we demand a clear and satisfactory reason and basis on which our names were included in the official gazette list and why our marksheets have lower marks.

Hello,

Ca chandan shanbhogue (220721) is trying to mislead my company in invoice and providing false information in tax laws. We have no official agreement in the retainership fees nor any contract has been signed. He is very unethical and unprofessional in doing business. The oral agreement from inr 10, 000 was changed to inr 60, 000 for no logical reason. When i refused, there are mails from him threatening to file a defamation case, and even sending mails to my customers, rbi, and income tax department.
Would appreciate the help in raising this issue in the correct forum, or taking appropriate action against the individual.

Thanks,
Santosh

Court should remove the power of icai to deduct marks. Also they should have system of rechecking paper by some other person that the paper checker is awarding proper marks (Proper marks doesn't mean only lesser marks).
Icai makes the student agree that students cannot file cases and cannot show their scan answersheet to any legal authorities, hence student are not able to file complaints. Further student may be affraid about their future with icai and they do not get guts to file complain.
Somebody should get into all these and help us.
Our careers are at stake.

I too agree with the vikas maheshwari said. The principals are treated article students as thier slaves doing all thier personal stuffs with the help of article students and they try to teach us nothing. This happen due to the loop hole in the icai policy.
First of all the principal should know the rules & regulation to guide the article student & then he should take students for articles. He is leaving us to home at his own continent times. No time sense no common sense to him.
I too suffering from this problem for past two & half years. For me only 6 month remaining to complete but this problem is not end up only with one article student this is faced by all the students. This leads to take wrong step in the student life. I too wana to complain regarding this problem so someone who know about this kindly help the article students. This will helpful to the articles who will join newly.

In Delhi branch of Ray and Ray chartered accountants, headed by CA A.K. Sharma( Membership no. 80085), they don't give conveyance for any audit client to staff, although they are charging out of pocket expenses(read conveyance of staff) from their clients in their bills. Also, for outstation audits, they don't reimburse taxi bills at all and also don't pay hotel bills fully but keep all the bills with them. Can't say where that money goes? No idea what they do with all those bills? DA is 100/150 Rs per day as per their policy but still they don't give it, although they get DA form signed by concerned staff on a blank paper without putting details on it. The accountant calls the concerned staff while doing such things alone, as happened in my case.

Dear Sir,

I am small entrepreneur based in Navi Mumbai. I have been given a job to CA for my firm, but instead taking appointment on his name he has taken on other CA's name saying he has a limit of 20 Costomers. Appointment was issued on other CA. All the filing for the year was done except filing of ROC.
Year is passed but the same is not done and even the penalties etc was not indicated. Now I have to shell out around Rs. 50, 000/-
Similar case this year also happened, CA has not filed the zero return saying its not required and in the course the credit of Service Tax was vanished due to non renewal of the same. In this case I have lost around Rs. 40, 000/-

This is totally avoidable as we the customers do not have any control on these CA's. Kindly suggest the way out as we are on verge of closing the Company.

Bhadrashetti

Respected sir/ma’m this is to inform you that Mr.Sumit Jain- C.A from Dubai (phone no:[protected] in conjunction with my spouse named Soumitra Singha Roy ( resident of Vancouver, Canada, passport no. G9991373 & Pan no. AGMPR0818D ) had claimed amount INR 33740/- & INR 68k/- through income Tax filling for year 2014, using my Pan (Banerje, Tanima) and deposited entire funds in to Mr. Soumitro Singha Roy’s account in Bank of Baroda, Sonari Branch, Jamshedpur. Jharkhand. This process he’s continuing since 2013 (ever since seized my PAN card). He’s able to do all this scam using his SBI business card ( where he was only temp staff in Dubai branch[protected] & was terminated).
After this scam my spouse had separated due to Criminal charges, which he used to avoid any repay of filled tax amount.
My sincere request is to take further action against of C.A for malpractices, Mr.Soumitra Roy for forging with government, and advise accordingly.

Yours sincerely
