With a vast network comprising over 1.4 million members and students spread across 5 Regional Councils, 177 Branches in India, as well as more than 40,000 members in 52 Overseas Chapters and 33 Representative Offices across 47 countries, ICAI is uniquely positioned to make a significant impact in humanitarian efforts. In this time of heightened tension, the Institute reaffirms its steadfast commitment to national solidarity and stands ready to support the country and its people.

ICAI has a widespread presence across nearly 17,000 pin codes in India, including over 13 branches located near the India-Pakistan border. Chartered Accountants in these bordering regions are well-positioned to go beyond symbolic support by actively volunteering their time, expertise and resources to assist local communities and authorities wherever required. Through ICAI robust local networks, members and student volunteers can collaborate with government agencies, NGOs and relief organizations to deliver timely and effective aid to those in need.

ICAI volunteers can play a vital role in facilitating relief efforts – evacuations, setting up shelter camps for displaced civilians, arranging for ambulance services, oxygen cylinders and distributing essential medicines. They can also organize blood donation camps and other critical aid services. In addition, the ICAI fraternity is urged to remain vigilant, reporting any suspicious or anti-national activities and stand prepared to support national security during this critical time.

CA. Charanjot Singh Nanda, President, ICAI, lauded the heroic efforts of the Indian Armed Forces and made a clarion call to the entire CA fraternity across the nation to stand with our armed forces, he emphasized that the over 14 Lakh financial soldiers of ICAI are committed not just in words but also in meaningful action.

We share immense pride in their valour in avenging the tragic loss of 26 innocent lives in the Pahalgam terror attack. Operation ‘SINDOOR’ is a powerful message from a New Bharat, one that asserts there will be no compromise when it comes to protecting India’s sovereignty. ICAI has always lived by the principle of ‘Nation First’. In every storm that has shaken our country, we have stood strong as a pillar of support to our motherland,”. 

The President further urged all ICAI members and students to rise to the occasion, remain alert and uphold the highest ideals of service by protecting the integrity and security of the nation.
