Messages From Our Esteemed Leaders
President, Vice President, and the Chairmen of ICMAI's taxation committees for the current term, sharing their view on where the profession is headed.
AI is reshaping cost and tax practice at scale, and ICMAI must lead this shift responsibly. Our members who embrace it will define the future of the profession.
President
CMA Chittaranjan Chattopadhyay
From GST reconciliation to direct tax compliance, AI cuts turnaround time and error rates dramatically. It is now a core capability, not an optional tool.
Vice President
CMA Manoj Kumar Anand
AI-driven analytics help decode complex direct tax provisions and flag risks early. This precision is invaluable for both practitioners and taxpayers.
Chairman, Direct Tax
CMA Rajendra Singh Bhati
Indirect tax compliance generates massive data volumes that AI is uniquely suited to process. It empowers CMAs to move from data entry to strategic advisory.

02 · The Platform
Unified Studio For Everything
Is interest under 234C waived for presumptive income?
Partly. Declarants under 44AD/44ADA pay the whole advance tax by 15 March — a single instalment; 234C interest applies only on that shortfall.
| Clause | Old Regime | New Regime |
|---|---|---|
| Slab rate (top) | 30% | 30% |
| 80C / 80D | Allowed | Not allowed |
| Std. deduction | ₹50,000 | ₹75,000 |
ML scores risk. Rules compute tax. The CA certifies. — non-negotiable.
