Welcome to Chengalpattu District Branch (SIRC)
Chairman Message
Dear Professional Colleagues,
Warm greetings from the Chengalpattu District Branch of SIRC of ICAI!
As we step into the second half of 2025, I take great pride in reflecting
on the dynamic and diverse initiatives conducted in June and early
July. This period has been one of tremendous professional enrichment,
celebration, wellness engagement, and community connection -
culminating in a vibrant and meaningful CA Day celebration.
We commenced the month with a focused CPE session on
“ITR Changes and Impacts for AY 2025-26 vs AY 2024-25” on 5th June 2025, equipping members
with insights into key developments in income tax laws.
Following this, the Certificate Course on Artificial Intelligence (Batch 356) from 6th to 8th June
empowered members with future-oriented digital capabilities.
On 14th June, we hosted an insightful session on “GST on Non-Profit Organisations”, offering
much-needed clarity on compliance challenges faced by charitable institutions.

On 21st June 2025, as part of our Wellness Outreach Programme (initiated on 24th May), we marked

“Wellness is not a destination. It’s a lifelong journey.”
