Members might be aware that the Chartered Accountants Benevolent Fund has been set up with the object, inter alia, of providing financial assistance to Institutes members and/or their families in distress. Chartered Accountants can become member of the Chartered Accountants Benevolent Fund either by paying ordinary membership fee of Rs.250/-* annually or become life member thereof by paying one time amount of Rs.2500/-**. The fund has been providing financial assistance to the members and/or the families of the deceased member depending on the number of request received and the fund position. In order to provide assistance to more members and in a substantial manner, augmentation of the Chartered Accountants Benevolent Fund is necessary. Towards this direction, members are earnestly requested to contribute their mite while remitting their membership/certificate of practice fee for the year 2009-10. It is hoped that the members of the Institute would respond positively to this noble cause.
