29 December 2014Dear All,
Had a few doubts regarding POA (Power of Attorney) wrt Income Tax hearings.
1. Can a Semi Qualified (having completed Articleship) employed by a CA Firm obtain a POA and represent client in I.Tax hearings or is it only CA's of a CA Firm can represent in IT Hearings.
2. A POA has got the firm's name mentioned with a Partner's Authorise signature. Does it mean only the Authorised signatory can represent or anybody from the Firm can represent.
Regards
Mohit

1. Yes, In my office too a semi qualified paid up employee attends almost all the proceedings.
2. Not sure about the second but I think any authorised person like partner may appear for it.
