As members are aware various committees of the Council of the Institute brings out technical publications like Guidance Notes, Statements, Accounting Standards, Auditing Standards etc. from time to time. These publications are available through the sale counter of the Institute at Regional Offices and Branches of Regional Councils.

In order that the new publications and/or the revised version of the existing publications are made available to the members as soon as they are printed, the Institute has a scheme whereby by depositing a specified amount the member shall be provided with the Institute's publication as and when printed. For this purpose, a member shall have to deposit a sum of Rs.2,000/- as imprest to the Institute. An imprest account with account number will be opened and maintained by the Institute. The price of publications as well as postage charges will be debited to the imprest account of the member and he shall be kept informed of the balance in his account so that the member can replenish the account from time to time so as to be able to receive the Institute's publications.

This scheme has been in operation since 1988. Members desirous of availing of facility of this scheme may remit a sum of Rs.2,000/- by way of Demand Draft. The Demand Draft should be in name of Secretary, The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India payable at New Delhi and send it to Joint Secretary, Stores, C-1, Sector -1, Noida - 201 301 so that the imprest account could be opened in his name.

It is hoped that in the changing scenario and fast development taking place in the accounting world, members would like to be kept themselves abreast of these developments through the medium of Institute's publication.
