President Message


Dear Members,

As we welcome the New Year, I extend my heartfelt wishes for a joyous and prosperous 2025! By the time this message reaches you, the celebrations of the New Year will already be underway. I hope it brings renewed energy and success in both personal and professional endeavours.

Reflecting on December, it was a remarkable month for our association. Under the able leadership of CA. Sulabh Padshah, the Direct Tax Study Circle Committee organized an insightful workshop series on Direct Tax Litigation. Topics such as Re-assessment, First Stage Appeal before CIT(A), Appeals to the Tribunal, and RTI usage in Direct Tax Litigation were covered in detail. This initiative was attended by 50 participants, all eager to develop their expertise in direct tax litigation. The sessions received widespread appreciation. Additionally, we hosted a technical program on Succession Planning, delivered by CA. Anup Shah from Mumbai. The overwhelming response from members turned this into a full-house event. The program highlighted an area that deserves more attention, and the participants found immense value in the discussion.

To commemorate the 74th foundation day of our association on December 15th, we organized a heritage walk through the old city of Ahmedabad. It was heart-warming to see 60 members, along with their families and children, join in. The event not only enriched our understanding of Ahmedabad’s heritage but also bridged generations, as senior members shared their nostalgic experiences. The walk culminated with a delightful breakfast at The Iconic Chandravilas Restaurant, where Shri Ajitbhai Shah, our esteemed Past President, led the cake-cutting ceremony.

On December 22nd, we organized a thrilling Leather Ball Cricket Match between President XI and Secretary XI. A total of 44 players participated, creating an atmosphere of camaraderie and healthy competition. The event not only showcased impressive cricketing skills but also strengthened the bonds among members through spirited fellowship. The Sports Committee will soon finalize the CAAA Team based on the players' performance in this match. This final team will represent us in the much-anticipated Annual Rotating Trophy Match against the Baroda Branch of ICAI, to be held in February. This event has been a cherished tradition of our association for decades, celebrating sportsmanship and unity.

I am deeply grateful for your enthusiasm and active participation in these programs. Such initiatives reflect the vibrant spirit of our association and our commitment to fostering professional growth and camaraderie.

As we step into 2025, let us continue to strive for excellence, embrace learning, and contribute to the growth of our profession and community. Wishing you a wonderful year ahead filled with success and happiness!

Warm regards,
CA. RIKEN PATEL
President
Chartered Accountants Association, Ahmedabad.
