The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has said that if a child of any caste or religion from across the country wants to study Chartered Accountant and is not able to study CA due to family financial constraints or any other reason, if they inform any branch of ICAI, then the ICAI team will make the necessary investigation and provide all possible help to such children in studying Chartered Accountancy, said CA Ketan Saiya, Chairman of WIRC of ICAI, during his visit to his Ahmedabad branch today.
CA Ketan Saiya said that ICAI has taken many reforms to make studying CA easier for students. Among them, this year a provision has been made to create a fund of Rs. 400 crore to help needy children study CA, which was earlier Rs. 100 crore.
