The Prime Minister also posted a short video hailing the work done by CAs and said, " Worldwide, Indian CAs are recognised for their better understanding and exemplary financial skills. In our sacred scriptures, four things have been mentioned religion (Dharma), economy (Arth), work (kaam) and salvation (moksh). Out of these, the responsibility on the society's economic health lies with CAs."

July 1 is celebrated as National Chartered Accountant Day in India. The day is observed in order to celebrate the formation of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) on July 1st, 1949.
