CA PRACTICE MAY COVER ANYTHING BUT NOT FARMING ATLEAST. IF ONE HOLDS A CERTIFICATE OF PRACTICE ,AND ALSO DOES FARMING ,HE DOES PROUD TO INDIA BEING AN AGR. COUNTRY PREDOMINANTLY(LATE STARTERS ARE SOFTWARE, HITECH,BIOTEC AND ALL TECS).IF IT IS OFFICIAL , YES HE MAY APPLY FOR ICAI APPROVAL. OTHERWISE I AM AFRAID,WITHOUT SURRENDERING COP OR PRIOR APPROVAL OF ICAI, FULL TIME FARMING OR PART TIME FARMING IS NOT POSSIBLE. R.V.RAO
