If your case is not here
Common questions
The bank has given me its own format. Can the certificate follow it?
Yes, where the format asks only for facts the CA can verify from documents. Share the format when you start; it is on the document list for most certificates.
I need a remittance certificate for a payment abroad. Is it Form 15CB or Form 146?
From 1 Apr 2026 the Income-tax Act 2025 numbers the CA certificate as Form 146 (formerly 15CB). The remitter files Form 145 (formerly 15CA). The AD bank that makes the remittance asks for the CA certificate.
The bank wants projected figures (CMA data). Is that a certificate?
No. Projections are covered by an examination report under SAE 3400, not a certificate. It is listed under "A bank or lender" as the CMA data examination report.
What does "By appointment" mean?
Some certificates are given only by an entity's appointed auditor, such as certificates by the statutory or concurrent auditors of banks and insurers, and audit reports. They are listed so you know what they are, but they start with a conversation rather than an online request.
