30 January 2011Why doesn't the Central Board of Direct Taxes hire qualified Chartered Accountants as Income Tax Officers and Commissioners?
Why do even qualified CAs have to appear for examination to be hired as ITOs and CITs?
A CA usually goes to represent an assessee so why not a CA be there from the Department's side also.
Also the Central Board of Exicse, Customs and Service Tax should hire CAs

its better that CA's are not officers or Commissioners because CA will know what all is being done by the assessee's. When CA represents on behalf of assessee he can easily misguide the officers by his knowledge and experience . if at all CA become officers it will be a case of CA fighting together and not for the assessee. but i do agree that if CA's become officers money will flwo to the government because the CA will know the way how the assessee has done tax evasion and so on other things. ..............
But my opinion let if go as it is now because it is good for the assessee........

I agree with you but not totally.Although CAs are the best people for tax purposes,but i would like to say what Mr Kapil Sibbal said when he became Union Minister for Science, Technology and Earth Sciences. in Manmohan singh Cabinet in 2004 on being asked why he chose this portfolio instead of law ministry,he said as i have many friends in law fraternity,it would not have been possible for me to do justice to my ministry if any body would have asked for favours from among my friends. Same goes for CA,
Secondly the post of an IRS officer is of an administrative nature also. They have to deal with various govt agencies as well,and we all know we CAs are not very good at presentation aspect.
But the govt should separate IRS on the lines of IES,where only engineers are allowed to sit for the exam..

I'm not agree with statement given by MOHD ATIR.
Bez a person having CA degree has tremandous knowledge and having ability to present at various level.No doubt about that.
