FTP - Certificate from Cost Accountant - Acceptable
DGFT has amended the Handbook of Procedure Vol.I and Appendices 2009-2014 to stipulate that wherever the term "Chartered Accountant" appears, it would deem to mean and include "Cost Accountant" also. Under the Foreign Trade Policy and Procedure, wherever certification by a Chartered Accountant was required, the exporters would now be able to get certification done by a Cost Accountant also.
