Observing that the role of Chartered Accountants is important in strengthening the economy of the country, Gehlot said it is their responsibility to discharge their positive role honestly for the development of the country and the state. They should give the right opinion to the industrial and commercial institutions and the general public about the payment of tax, he added. He said chartered accountants should encourage their clients to invest more as they act as a strong bridge between the government and business houses. At the same time, they can provide proper information to the entrepreneurs regarding the schemes, policies and programs of the government, Gehlot said, adding that Rajasthan has given many famous chartered accountants to the country.
