Chairman’s Address
Dear Esteemed Members,
Warm greetings to each one of you!
As we step into the second half of this vibrant professional year, I take this opportunity to thank all our members for the continued support and encouragement extended to the branch. Your active involvement has been instrumental in energising our professional initiatives and events.
The month of July promises to be enriching and engaging for all of us. We are delighted to host a Workshop on GST Litigation at our branch premises on 10th, 11th, 12th and 17th, 18th, 19th July 2025. This workshop will focus on practical aspects of handling GST assessments, appeals, and departmental proceedings—an area of growing relevance for all practitioners.
Adding further value, the branch will be organizing a Residential Seminar under the aegis of the Corporate Laws Committee of ICAI at the serene Poovar backwaters on 18th, 19th, and 20th July 2025. The event is designed not just for technical sessions but also to facilitate networking, communication and shared learning in a relaxed environment. I urge members to make the best use of this unique opportunity.
We will also be observing the Sekar Memorial Lecture on 26th July 2025, in loving memory of our beloved Past Chairman, Late CA Sekar R. His leadership and contribution continue to inspire generations of professionals, and we invite you all to join us in paying homage and reflecting on his legacy.
Looking ahead, I am proud to share that our branch will be hosting the National Conference on GST on 8th and 9th August 2025. This is a landmark moment for us—as it marks the return of a national event to our city after more than a decade. Let us come together to make it a grand success and showcase the vibrancy of our professional community in Kerala.
Once again, I sincerely thank you all for your unflinching support. I also appeal to each one of you to actively participate in the upcoming programmes and contribute your suggestions to further improve our professional camaraderie and collective growth.
Together, let’s keep the spirit of learning and leadership alive.
With warm regards,
Jai Hind. Jai ICAI.
