Its nt at all necessary to write the xact text of clause........

wat matters is to xpress the message of the provision in d xam

And, the following pattern can be used to start the answer.

If u r unable 2 recollect the xact clause no,

then its preferable 2 write:

As per provisions contained in Schedule... of Chartered accountants Act, 1949, .......(then write down the provisions)...........

if u dnt know wven the schedule, den write:

As per provisions contained in Chartered accountants Act, 1949 and the Schedules thereto.............(then write the provisions)........

No exact language is not required... try and identify key words in each clause write them in your own language...

All the Best...

Language not required so also the mention of a clause or section not required but if you think practically it matters alot.

better is to remember as many as possible if not all. Think from valuer point of view. If valuer check 50 copies and in first 15 copies he finds general answere like B.com/ M.com whereas 16th copy is yours wherein all you answeres are well supported by proper section and clauses.. there is makes difference in the time of cut throat competition.

Pls take it constructvely .. my intention is not to scare you but to realise what makes difference in examination.

You can very well use your own language , but the clause has to be mentioned to gain marks, ICAI has strict guidelines to the examiners to deduct 1/2 marks a question for not mentioning the clause and the schedule.
