Website Terms & Disclaimer
This website provides information about our firm and general professional topics. It does not provide an audit opinion, certification or advice on your particular circumstances.
1. Purpose and professional context
Aanand & Co maintains this website for people seeking information about the firm. Its use is subject to these terms and applicable Indian law. Professional services are subject to the Chartered Accountants Act, 1949, applicable ICAI regulations, the Code of Ethics and relevant professional standards. Nothing on this website overrides those requirements.
2. Information is not individual advice
Articles, summaries and resources are general information. Their relevance depends on the facts, financial year, assessment year and law applicable to a matter. Laws, notifications and interpretations may change after publication. Check original statutory and regulatory sources and obtain advice on your circumstances before acting. Publication dates are not a representation that an article reflects later amendments.
3. Acceptance of an engagement
Browsing, submitting an enquiry, emailing or sending a WhatsApp message does not by itself create a professional engagement or oblige the firm to undertake work. Acceptance depends on appropriate client identification, independence and conflict checks, competence and availability, any necessary professional communication, and agreement on scope and terms. Fees, responsibilities, deliverables and timelines are governed by the agreed engagement terms. Please obtain express acknowledgement of any urgent deadline.
4. Independence and outcomes
Work is undertaken subject to applicable independence, objectivity and professional requirements. We do not promise a particular assessment, refund, approval, audit conclusion or litigation outcome. References to peer review describe the firm's stated status; they do not constitute ICAI endorsement of this website or a guarantee of any engagement's outcome.
5. Confidential communications
Use the document-sharing channel agreed with the firm for confidential records. Do not submit passwords, OTPs, banking credentials or unnecessary identity documents through a general enquiry or social media. Confidentiality obligations remain subject to authorised disclosures and applicable legal and professional duties. See our Privacy Policy for website communications.
6. External websites and resources
Links to articles, social platforms, ICAI and other websites are provided for reference. External operators control their content, security and privacy practices. A link is not an endorsement or assurance about their information. Firm articles are not official ICAI pronouncements. Original laws, notifications and official professional publications take precedence over summaries.
7. Permitted use and intellectual property
You may read and refer to publicly available material for lawful personal or internal use with attribution. Rights in third-party material remain with its owners. Obtain permission before reproducing substantial material or using the firm's name or branding to imply an association. Do not interfere with the website, attempt unauthorised access, submit malicious files or misuse enquiry facilities.
8. Availability and responsibility
We take reasonable care in maintaining the website, but cannot guarantee uninterrupted access or that every item is complete, current or free from error. To the extent permitted by law, the firm is not responsible for loss resulting from reliance on general website material without appropriate advice. This does not exclude a duty or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, waive professional obligations, or alter rights and responsibilities under an accepted engagement.
9. Updates and questions
Revised website terms will be published here with an updated date. They do not retrospectively amend an agreed engagement. Applicable Indian law governs these website terms, subject to mandatory rights and competent forums under law.
