Dear CTC Fellow Members,
The month that has passed after my taking over as President
of the Chamber had been very hectic and was full of deliberations to formulate
the action plans to fulfill this year’s motto "Envisioning Future Ensuring
Competencies". The common goal for the year is to lay a path by
envisioning future and thereby ensuring competencies.
Keeping this in mind various committees have been formed to
meet the objective. Scope of some committees has been redesigned so as to
focus more on critical areas. A new committee called "Corporate Members
Committee" has been constituted specifically to cater to ever growing needs of
corporate entities from our profession. It has also been perceived that
visibility of the Chamber can be achieved by initiating more proactive
measurers through the constant and enhanced use of technology.
On my visit to Delhi, I had an occasion to meet some of the
members of Delhi Chapter, where we discussed on modalities of the future
programmes. I was pleasantly surprised with the warmth and enthusiasm level of
members there, which reassures that Chamber has huge potential to excel at far
off places.
Many of you had a herculean task to fill the newly notified
Income Tax Returns and still the difficulty continues. On receiving various
suggestions Chamber has filed the writ petition before the Hon'ble Bombay High
Court, challenging these new forms and the relevant notifications. The writ is
pending for admission.
To enable the members and their staff to cope up with the
recent amendment, "Tax Audits", a half day seminar has been organized as per
detail given in CITC News of September. Other programmes are under
finalization and you are requested to reap the benefits of the same.
The festival season has set in with the arrival of "Lord
Ganesha". I wish everybody a very smoothing and satisfying season. I have
already started receiving suggestion and views from the members on my mission
of building the state-of-the-art – edifice for Chamber. But as usual, many
more are still awaited. I am eagerly waiting to communicate with you. Kindly
send your views on email ID president @citcindia.org.
Till the next issue," Good Bye."
