Panel asks MCA and ICAI to respond on reservation policy
In short
A parliamentary committee asked the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and ICAI to reply by October 5 about why a reservation policy has not been implemented in ICAI. The request came from the Committee on the Welfare of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
