81% of Associate CAs are not in practice. Let that sink in. ICAI's latest membership statistics (as on 01/04/2026) show something worth pausing on: Total CAs in India: 4,53,590. Associate CAs: 3,30,470. Not in practice: 2,67,328. That's 81% of Associate members choosing employment over practice. This isn't a one-year blip. A decade ago, roughly 6 in 10 CAs sta......

One "study" on Riyadh air quality doesn't exist. A JP......
Rs. 1 lakh cr. Wiped out. Not by a scam. By four words missing from the minutes. No fraud was found. No loan went bad. A chairman just said he was uncomfortable. And forgot to write it down.

It's a moving target. 47 a......
Tuhin Kanta Pandey, Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), has admitted an important gap in the regulator's transparency standards.
