NEW DELHI, NOV 13, 2017: THE Institute of Companies Secretaries of India (ICSI) has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the National Skill Development Council, Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship to develop GST Accounts Assistants. The detailed scheme is being worked out. In terms of the said MoU, ICSI Students, among others, will be :
(a) Trained as GST Accounts Assistants without being required to pay any fee;
(b) Eligible to provide their services as GST Accounts Assistants after the training.
Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi, while inaugurating Year-Long Golden Jubilee Celebrations of the ICSI on October 4, 2017 expressed desire that ICSI should develop GST Accounts Assistants using especially those who chose to drop out midway. He suggested that such resources should be developed as GST Accounts Assistants to enable them to take the benefit of emerging employment and other opportunities and to contribute for this major reform to benefit the society at large. This scheme will be highly useful for the ICSI students, especially those who acquired training and crossed the journey of the profession up to a point but could not accomplish the final milestone.
