It is really heartening to pen a

message in the inaugural issue of

students' newsletter of the

Northern India Chartered

A c c o u n t a n t S t u d e n t s '

Association of NIRC of ICAI.

A vo id was fe l t in our

communication with the student

fraternity. It was a dream of the

present NICASA team to have a

separate newsletter which is

focused on the matters related to

the students. The dream has

fructified in form of this

newsletter. We look forward to

your views and suggestions. I

hope students will find this

newsletter informative and

useful. I compliment my team of

other NICASA members for the

initiative. I would also like to put

on record the support of the

Chairman and other members of

Northern India Regional Council

in the activities of NICASA

including in bringing out this

newsletter.

The domain of accounting and

finance is evolving with many

changes happening. India is

writing a new success story on the

global map which is being

recognised by leaders of major

economies and also by major

economic organisations. The

International Monetary Fund

distinguishes India as fastest

growing emerging economy with

projected growth rate of 7.4 per

cent in the year 2018 which will

accelerate further to 7.8 per cent

in the subsequent year.

The legal and business framework

is also changing to create a

conducive environment for

growth. Recently, the accounting

world has witnessed several

changes in corporate and allied

laws, policies and procedures to

enhance ease of doing business

and bringing better governance.

Dear Professional Colleagues,

Page 7: NORTHERN INDIA CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS STUDENTS ASSOCIATION ... Newsletter_March Final.pdf · challenges in the world of Chartered Accountancy. Changes have happened not only in the

education and training. The emphasis

on information technology and

a d va n c e d m a n a g e m e n t a n d

communication skills are going to help

the students to be develop holistically

to be at the top.

The NICASA is taking a number of

steps to assist the students in their

learning endeavours. We have

continuously organised classes, mock

test papers, seminars and guidance

sessions for the benefit of students. To

break monotony and provide

opportunity to the students and to

showcase their talents a cultural event

was also organised recently where

about 850 students have participated.

NICASA is highly concerned about the

interest of students and will continue

its efforts to render high quality

services. Your feedback is important

for us. Please feel free to contact us.

With best wishes,

Service Tax Acts, Insolvency and

Bankruptcy Code, 2016, Real Estate

(Regulation and Development) Act,

2016 are some of the changes that will

redefine the business and industry.

The Chartered Accountants have to

remain adaptive to these changes and

acquire contemporary knowledge to

retain the edge enjoyed by them as

professionals. As a student, you

should also be aware of the changes

happening and understand them. You

need to learn beyond the text books to

enhance your knowledge and develop

your overall personality.

“We reap what we sow. We are the

makers of our own fate. The wind is

blowing; those vessels whose sails are

unfurled catch it, and go forward on

their way, but those which have their

sails furled do not catch the wind. Is

that the fault of the wind?....... We

make our own destiny”– said Swami

Vivekananda. The ICAI, in line with the

wind of changes has restructured its

scheme of education and training to

ensure that the students acquire

highly useful knowledge and skills and

to empower them to take professional

challenges in the world of Chartered

Accountancy. Changes have happened

not only in the syllabus but have

extended to other aspects of the

Heartiest compliments on this

inaugural issue of the students'

newsletter of the Northern India

Chartered Accountant Students'

Association of NIRC of ICAI.I am sure

the newsletter will act as effective

medium to reach out the students of

the Region.

The May, 2018 Chartered Accountancy

examinations are quite near. I am sure

the students who are appearing in the

forthcoming examinations are putting

in their best effort. I really wish them

t o p e r f o r m w e l l a n d p a s s

examinations. In May, 2018,

examinations under both old and new

schemes would be conducted.

The examinations are a way to assess

the professional knowledge and skills

acquired by the students. I hope that

the students would be able to

showcase their knowledge in

theoretical concepts and the

knowledge that they have gained in

practical training. It is important that

the students study well, properly

assimilate the concepts and write

app rop r i a te answers i n the

examinations to score good marks.

Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam said “To succeed

in your mission, you must have single-

minded devotion to your goal.”There

are a number of factors and virtues

that lead to success. However, one

virtue that can really help you to

achieve success is a focused eye on

goals. In the Hindu mythological epic –

Mahabharata – Arjuna could only see his

target, eye of the bird. While other

Students of Guru Dronacharya saw tree,

branch, bird, leaves, etc. This virtue

made Arjuna a great warrior. In life,

there are so many irrelevant things that

consume our time and energies.

Many students have good knowledge,

but they are not able to translate them in

their answers. They need practice.

Study exhaustively and practice by

writing as much as you can. Do not

ignore any subject – whether numerical

or theoretical. Learn theory even in

otherwise numerical papers such as

accountancy and finance. Make full use

of various educational inputs provided

by ICAI in different subjects. The study

materials, suggested answers to the

questions set in previous examinations,

revision test papers, e-lectures are all

important.

Keep doing the hard work and I am sure

success will be yours very soon.

Best wishes,

irrespective of the value of consignment?

Ans: Rule 138 (1) provides that where goods are sent by principal

located in one state to jobworker located in another state, e-way

bill has to be generated irrespective of the valueof the

consignment. This indicates that there is compulsory requirement

to generate E-waybill only in case of inter-state movement of goods

for job work purpose.Hence, for sending goods to job worker within

state, E-way bill is required to begenerated only if the value

exceeds Rs. 50,000/-

distance to be covered by all the modes combined together must be

taken intoconsideration. The validity provided in the rules is as

Ans: Notification No. 3/2018 has provided that E-way bill is not

required to be generated formovement of goods covered under

Notification No. 2/2017-Central Tax (rate). ThisNotification covers

all exempted categories of goods. Hence, there is no need

such exempted goods, E-way bill is notrequired for following

goods:

• Non GST goods i.e. alcoholic liquor for human consumption,

(CBDT), that frames policy for the tax

department, has constituted a special team of

officers to prepare modalities for this path-

breaking initiative and abolish the age-old

prevalent system of a taxpayer being assessed in

a specific circle of the city or town where he or she

is based.For example, the ITR and scrutiny case

papers of a taxpayer living in Delhi could be

assessed by an AO based in, say, Mumbai or Kochi

and likewise agencies.

This first-of-its-kind initiative will totally change

the relationship and dealing between an assessee

and his assessing officer (AO). The income tax

returns (ITRs), scrutiny cases and all other I-T

related correspondence of a taxpayer will go to a

officer chosen randomly by the database system

who is working in any I-T office of the country.

During the two-day ‘Rajaswa Gyan Sangam’

conference (national meeting of top tax officers of

the country), PM Modi encouraged tax officials to

push for digital IT assessment method, which will

save the tax-payers time, and remove corruption

from the system.

Earlier, tax-payershad to visit Income Tax offices,

for clearing their filings, and approving their

assessments via manual check. Filing of tax

returns, receiving queries from tax authorities

and submitting responses have now moved

towards the electronic mode of communication.

The use of technology will further increase in the

years to come, making almost the entire

There is a famous saying by Albert Einstein

that,"The hardest thing to understand in the

world is the income tax". One is taxing something

and the other is its assessment. Both are

altogether two different areas of understanding.

An estimated 3.9 Lacs direct tax cases are

pending across various appeal forums including

commissioner (appeals), income tax appellate

tribunals (ITAT), high court and Supreme Court,

encouraging the tax department to look for ways

to reduce litigation. There are recommendations

by internal committee for capping the number of

such scrutinies, among other steps to reduce

litigation and strengthen litigation management.

At present, less than 1% of the 40 million tax

returns filed are picked up for scrutiny. It has

suggested that appeals at ITATs, high courts and

Supreme Court should be reviewed and

withdrawn if they have become redundant due to

legislative changes or court rulings. It has also

suggested that high courts should be requested

to constitute tax benches at least temporarily to

reduce pendency.

The tax department has been taking a number of

steps to reduce litigation including increasing the

monetary limits for filing of appeals by the tax

department in higher courts as well as resorting

to the dispute resolution scheme that gives tax

payers an opportunity to end litigation by paying

the principal and waiving the penalties.

The income tax (I-T) department is working on a

new system of jurisdiction-free assessment,

where a taxpayer would be assessed by a taxman

based in any part of the country as part of

measures to reduce instances of corruption and

harassment. The Central Board of Direct Taxes

the government has expressly discussed the use

of data analytics to identify potential tax evaders.

Data-linkages are expected to increase the tax

compliance base, identify defaulters and make

enquiries more specific and 'to-the-point'. Under

the Annual Information Return, considerable

information about a taxpayer's activities is being

provided to the Tax Authorities. Using such

streams of information, the government systems

could have certain automatic triggers to capture

transactions having values disproportionate to a

taxpayer's reported income and/or scale of

operations. Suspicious transactions could be

caught on time. Also the enquiries from Tax

Authorities would become more specific to the

taxpayer thereby saving time and effort at both

ends and bringing the enquiry to a logical

conclusion.

While it is certain that the tax world will use

technology to greater extent, the pace of its

implementation as compared to changes in the

tax policies and procedures need to be gauged so

that the taxpayer as well as Tax Authorities are

equipped with appropriate technology at the

appropriate time.

With this dream view of India’s government to

take the country to further higherstandards I

would like to quote few lines on dreams written by

me, which says..

YEH WAQT BHI GUZAR JAAYEGA..!

interaction through the electronic means. For

instance, queries raised by the Tax Authorities

and the submissions made during a scrutiny

assessment (revenue audit) proceedings will

soon be carried out online. The pilot project on

electronic scrutiny assessments launched by the

government is a step in this regard.Specific and

to-the-point discussions between taxpayer and

Tax Authorities.

Finance Minister ArunJaitley, in his budget

speech of 2018, announced that the electronic

assessment of tax returns would be launched in

the country, which would "almost eliminate

person-to-person contact, leading to greater

efficiency and transparency".The assessment

team will now comprise two officers, maybe the

AO and another officer of additional or joint

commissioner rank.

Till now, only one AO is responsible for a case

under assessment.

The new measure of deputing two officials for one

assessment case is being seen as increasing the

level of monitoring as well as aiding the AO to

quickly conduct the task.The scheme would be

launched in all the cities where the department

had an officer of the rank of principal

commissioner.

Data-linkages between different arms of the

government and the institutions in the financial

system are enabling the Tax Authorities to

capture better information about a taxpayer. In

the times to come, we expect seamless

assimilation of different aspects of taxpayer

information such as bank accounts, incomes,

expenses and investments through the key field

of Permanent Account Number (PAN) and

Aadhaar. This will result in particulars of a

transaction and tax event becoming readily

available to the Tax Authorities.In a recently

launched 'Operation Clean Money' to deal with

cash deposits during the demonetisation period,

• One who is intelligent, but does not have role

models to learn qualities like persistence,

determination and creative thinking is bound to be fall

short of his/her true potential.

• Having a Role Model in our life will give us a sense of

productive goals and a sense of direction towards our

goals. We should take some time once in a week and

learn from successful people by reading their stories

and books.

Qualities of a Ideal Role Model:

• Passion and ability to change the things: Role model

shows passion for their work. Role Model has qualities

that inspire others and have the ability to change.

• Clear set of values: Values are the things that we

believe are important in the way we live and work.(for

example Working in Ethical way only)

• Commitment to community: Role models are active

in their life, they share their time and talents with other

people to benefit them.

• Ability to overcome obstacles: Role Models have

ability to overcome obstacles and remove all hurdles.

Benefits of Role Model:

• Role Model serves as an inspiration and encourages

us to aim high.

• Hero worship is healthy, and while some never stop

idolizing their heroes, some stop after they enter

adulthood and others never really start.

• Focus: having a role model helps us focus on our

goal

• Inspiration: a person with a role model is more

likely to be inspired and driven to achieve his/her goal,

than a person without one.

• Coping with adversity: temporary setbacks are a

part of life and everyone goes through them. It is

important that we do not lose hope and keep sight of

our goal at the end.

• A role model gives us confidence that we can

succeed, because it is likely that our role model would

also have suffered setbacks and overcame them.

Introduction:

Role Models help people to learn the skills needed to

be a motivated self learner. Modeling the behavior,

thoughts, and attitudes of successful people helps a

person to become more successful.

Why it is recommended to have a role model:

Research has shown that almost all of the successful

people today (success defined as setting and reaching

one’s own goal) had a series of role models. The

leaders of today all had great role models that inspired

them to great heights. For example HENRY FORD

(Founder of Ford Motor company)used THOMAS

EDISON as his role model (in fact, he hung a picture of

Edison near his work area), the selection of good role

model serves as a guide for us to make the most out of

our abilities. Einstein said, “Imagination is more

important knowledge.” By introducing us to role

models for all aspects of our life, we develop our

imaginations. We imagine success imitating our role

Model.

How Role Model concept works:

Role Models are very powerful force for setting and

achieving productive goals. Our minds are naturally

developed to learn from the experience of others.

Whether the experience is captured in the form of

books, stories, or games, the experience of others

offers a very powerful way to reach a higher level of

success. People without goals and role models

flounder in their life.

For example, learning persistence through stories

about the famous inventor Thomas Edison that failed

10000 times before discovering the light bulb is a

great way to learn the value of determination.

How to set a Role Model:

• It is imperative that we should have good role

models that can guide us to develop our maximum

potential in all aspects of our life. We naturally look to

our surroundings for role models. If we cannot find a

good role model, we will cling to bad ones.

• We need a set of good role models to set an

example of the behaviors, thinking styles and

attitudes needed to succeed in life.

ROLE MODELS: MOTIVATE SELF LEARNING

Commerce and Industry (FICCI).

Chanda Kochhar:

• Chanda Kochhar, ICICI Bank CEO, recently made it

to the Fortune list of 25 most powerful Women in the

Asia-Pacific region, and stands first among other

Indian women. She has been featured in this list

consistently since 2005.

• She played an important role in developing and

shaping the retail banking sector in India.

• She has also been honored with the Padma

Bhushan Award in 2010 for her services to the banking

sector.

• In a society where very few women manage to

reach the top rungs of the corporate ladder, Chanda

Kochhar has broken the glass ceiling. She is leading

the ICICI Bank since 2009 and under her leadership

ICICI Bank won the "Best Retail Bank in India" award in

2001, 2003, 2004 and 2005.

Conclusion:

Role models are highly important for us. They help us

in making important decisions that affect the outcome

of our life, to succeed and be happy in our life. In the

context of CA Students since in this course we have to

study by ourselves only, we lack sometime in

disciplined study. By reading about Rank Holders that

how they studied and made it possible we can also

make our preparations so strong that we also clear our

examinations with flying colors.

Real Faces (Examples):

APJ Abdul Kalam:

• The Missile Man of India – A Perfect Role Model.

and “Padma Bhusan”.

• He always lived a humble simple life. He believed in

the power of the youth and always encouraged them

for their creativity.

• Inspired by his simplistic approach if we

incorporate at least 10% of his habits (Waking up

early, Being determined and committed towards work,

Meeting the impossible deadlines with a sharp focus

and hard work, Be humble and polite to everyone) we

might just make the best out of our life.

for it.Youknows the way, how will you get prefit CA

before you name. You have to be prepared for that, then

you will be able to attempt and achieve. So believe

yourself, keep moving to get what you ask.

The key reason confidence is so powerful and magnetic

is simple, confident people ask for what they want.

Whether it is advice, a sale or a date, confident people

ask others for what they want. They ask for what they

want out of the world and they ask for what they want

out of themselves. Surprisingly much of achieving goals

is simply building up the courage to ask for them.

You need to ask because:

� Asking for what you want gets you what you want.

� You need to ask to be able to serve.

The first answer may seem obvious. When you ask for

what you want you can receive what you want. But the

second answer may have surprised you. How does

asking for what you want increase your capacity to

serve?

The reason asking helps you serve is because asking is

critical to growth. When you don’t ask for what you

want, you can’t improve the value you are offering. And

unless you are an extremely rare individual that already

comes with tremendous value, your real ability to serve

doesn’t lie in your current talents. Your ability to serve

comes from improving the value you offer.

The real value of confidence is it enables you to ask.

Confidence is the deep feeling and belief that the value

you offer into the transaction is at least equal or in

excess of what you is asking for in return. The belief that

the people listening to your speech benefit more than

your fees. The belief that the women you approach will

benefit from your relationship. The belief that you have

value to give. Ask in a way that creates more value than

I believe something is better than nothing but for

achieving at least something; you have to dream big

and should focus on it with courage and dedication.

Believing yourself is source of courage and confidence.

Our thought defines our future, what we believe, we will

achieve.

I know you must've heard this many a times, story of

elephants.“As a man was passing the elephants, he

suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge

creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to

their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that

the elephants could, at any time, break away from their

bonds but for some reason, they did not.

He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals

just stood there and made no attempt to get away.

“Well,” trainer said, “when they are very young and

much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them

and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow

up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break

away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they

never try to break free.”

The man was amazed. These animals could at any time

break free from their bonds but because they believed

they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were.

Like the elephants, how many of us go through life

hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something,

simply because we failed at it once before?

Failure is part of learning; we should never give up the

struggle in life.

As you know, river does not come to thirsty people, you

have to go toit.In same way, you have to ask what you

need; either yourself or others. Everyone, who is

reading this article, is asking for CA prefix before name,

Right? Youare confident to get it so you are struggling

What youbelieve; You will get.

Pradip Sagar Rokaya

If you can’t fly, then run, if you can’t walk run, then walk, if you can’t walk, then crawl, but by all means keep moving.

Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes in

one pot, eggs in the second pot, and ground coffee

beans in the third pot.

He then let them sit and boil, without saying a word to

his daughter. The daughter, moaned and impatiently

waited, wondering what he was doing.

After twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He took

the potatoes out of the pot and placed them in a bowl.

He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl.

He then ladled the coffee out and placed it in a cup.

Turning to her he asked. “Daughter, what do you see?”

“Potatoes, eggs, and coffee,” she hastily replied.

“Look closer,” he said, “and touch the potatoes.” She did

and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take

an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she

observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to

sip the coffee. Its rich aroma brought a smile to her

face.

“Father, what does this mean?” she asked.

He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and

coffee beans had each faced the same adversity– the

boiling water.

However, each one reacted differently.

The potato went in strong, hard, and unrelenting, but in

boiling water, it became soft and weak.

The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting

its liquid interior until it was put in the boiling water.

Then the inside of the egg became hard.

However, the ground coffee beans were unique. After

they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed

the water and created something new.

“Which are you,” he asked his daughter. “When

adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are

you a potato, an egg, or a coffee bean? “

Moral: In life, things happen around us, things happen

to us, but the only thing that truly matters is what

happens within us.

Which one are you?

You are warrior; you can do it.What you believe; you will

get. Stay motivated and prepared for what you ask or

what you want. I’m concluding my article with this

quotation “Believe in you! Have faith in your abilities!

Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your

own powers you cannot be successful or happy”.

you take.

As you know, Many CAis working with low pay scale.

Only the reason is they don’t ask higher salary because

they don’t know how to ask. They should have to

ensure that they will return more than what they will

receive. That guts will come from confidence,

knowledge and skills. First prepare yourself; you will

get what you want.

But remember this; you still need to ask because the

world isn’t going to ask for you.

Life isn’t a steady escalator. Sometimes getting better

requires that you first get a lot worse. If you can’t admit

to yourself that you suck at something, chances are it

will hold you back from future improvements.

Pride, ego, fear of rejection, call it what you will. The

result is the same. Part of you likes your temporary

holdout in life. It isn’t the work that scares you, or even

the unknown. It’s the fact that in order to move forward

you have to get your hands dirty.

You want to start a business. But you don’t know

anything about business. In fact, you’re pretty sure it

can’t compete with the salary you are already earning.

Your job is comfortable, but it doesn’t make you want to

leap out of bed each morning. Your choice is either to

face the inevitable “I Suck” moment, ignore your pride

and get started with your business. Or go back to

working the job that will eventually suffocate you.

If you want be happy, do work what you love.

Everything should start from zero. Even your path

might be not easy, go through it.You will get real joy.

Once you will make it habits in your life, you will feel

real happiness for whole life.

It’s not easy to get everything on your deadlines. Don’t

get panic with your failure, every failure in your life will

teach you lesson. Stand again and start moving

forward.Life doesn’t end with your failure, better time

yet to come.Stay motivated and bepessimistic;Sooner

or later, you will get what you want.

Once upon a time a daughter complained to her father

that her life was miserable and that she didn’t know

how she was going to make it. She was tired of fighting

and struggling all the time. It seemed just as one

problem was solved, another one soon followed.

Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled

three pots with water and placed each on a high fire.

Vedic Mathematics Tricks and ShortcutsVedic Mathematics is a system of mathematics which was invented by Indian mathematician Jagadguru Shri Bharathi Krishna Tirthaji Maharaj in the period between A.D. 1911 and 1918.

It consists of 16 Sutras (methods) and 13 sub-sutras (Sub methods). Vedic Mathematics's methods are highly efficient when it comes to calculation of regular arithmetics like subtraction, multiplication, division of numbers and polynomials, squares, square roots, cubes, cube roots, solving equation, partial fractions, derivatives, conics, etc.

Vinculum Numbers / Vinculum Process:

Vinculum Process forms the very basic requisites for Vedic Mathematics.Vinculum is a Sanskrit word which means a line i.e. bar over number i.e. negative digits. Vinculum numbers are numbers which have atleast 1 digit as a negative digit. Vinculum numbers/digits are also called as Bar numbers/digits.Eg: Vinculum number converted to normal number using Place Value concept.

Another Method of Conversion of Vinculum number to Normal number:

Follow R -> L approach.1. Find 1st Bar digit and takes is 10's complement.

2. a) If next digit is again Bar digit then take its 9's complement. Continue taking 9's complement till non-bar digit is obtained.

b) Decrement non-bar digit by 1.1. Continue (1) & (2) till complete number is covered.Conversion of Normal number to Vinculum number:Follow R -> L approach.1. Find 1st digit > 5 & take its 10's complement with a bar over it.2. a) If next digit is again >= 5, take its 9's complement with a bar over it & continue this till a digit <5 is obtained.b) Increment <5 digit by 1.1. Continue (1) & (2) till complete number is covered.Conversion of Vinculum numbers to Normal numbers and vice versa is very important for other concepts of Vedic Mathematics.

Subtraction using Vinculum:

Nikhilam Navatascaramam Dastah:Popularly called as Nikhilam Sutra and English it means as 'All from 9 and last from 10'.Nikhilam Sutra in Multiplication is used whenever the numbers are closer to power of 10 i.e. 10, 100, 1000, ....

Chahe is bar main abkeLadte ladte mar jauPar itni hai meri koshishJitna socha wo kar jau

Na jhuk paae palke meriNa kandhe niche jaaeNa koi sehyogi bankarJine ka matlab sikhlae

Har path ke kaili kankar koMai nij kadmo se paar karuNa gila rahe galti karne kaChahe galti har baar karu

Kathni ko karni karne kaIshwar main tumse var chaahuHaan itni hai meri koshishJitna socha wo kar jaau

Na paau koi man ki baadhaNa tan se kahi main bandh jaauAa jaae sou laakh mushkilenBus ek path par chalta jaau

Behte ansu ke ek bhawar seKaali kismat ko dho daaluBus abhi yahan is ek waqt meinIs jeevan ka matlab paa lun

Naye dhang se naye rang meinBus itna sa nikhar jaaunKi jitni thi meri koshish Bas utna sa kar jaaun
