The Journey
CA (Adv) Bimal says with immense humility that his journey spanning more than two decades in the realms of taxation and accounting has been nothing short of exhilarating. For him, the expedition through this vibrant and challenging ecosystem has been nothing short of exhilarating. “My venture into the accounting and tax industry was not a result of chance but rather a blend of motivation, foresight, and a deep-seated passion for making a substantial difference in the business world.”
From a very early age, CA (Adv) Bimal was deeply fascinated by how businesses operate, the flux of the financial markets, and how effectively managing finances could be the cornerstone of surviving and thriving in a competitive landscape. This curiosity was the bedrock of his motivation. “It was not merely about numbers for me; it was about the story those numbers told about a business, the economy, and, by extension, the impact on society.”
The decision to step into the dynamic ecosystem of accounting and tax was further solidified by realising taxes’ pivotal role in the economy. Taxes are not just about compliance but about contributing to the effectiveness of costs and pricing for any business and, indeed, for the nation’s growth and development—this sense of responsibility towards contributing to the greater good added to his zeal.
The Golden Chance
The field of direct and, more specifically, Indirect Taxation – GST, Service Tax, Excise, Customs, VAT/CST, among others, presented itself as a labyrinth of challenges, constantly evolving with the economic and regulatory changes. This would require an in-depth understanding of the laws and a continuous effort to stay ahead of the curve. This realization was both daunting and exhilarating. It was an opportunity to grow professionally and become a facilitator of change, helping businesses navigate the complexities of taxation and fostering a compliant and transparent business environment.
Throughout CA (Adv) Bimal’s 24 years of experience, constant learning and adaptation have been his mantras. The journey from becoming a Fellow Chartered Accountant (FCA) and a Fellow Company Secretary (FCS) to acquiring a Law degree (LLB) was driven by his quest for knowledge and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Every piece of legislation and every regulatory change was a puzzle to be solved, an opportunity to learn, “And a chance to contribute my expertise to help businesses flourish responsibly,” he says.
Moreover, his engagement with Indirect Taxation matters, including the transformative GST implementation, has been enriching. The transition into GST was a regulatory change and a paradigm shift in India’s taxation since independence. “Being at the forefront with the decision-making bodies, advising, and guiding through this monumental transition has been one of the most fulfilling phases of my career.” It underscored the importance of adaptability, continuous learning, and the impact of proactive guidance.
