The portal is an official initiative of ICAI through its Committee for Aggregation of CA Firms (CACAF). ICAI conceptualizes, administers and monitors the portal to facilitate professional collaboration among members in accordance with ICAI guidelines and Code of Ethics.

ICAI’s role in relation to this Portal is strictly limited to that of a facilitator and technology enabler. Information pertaining to active ICAI members, as fetched from the SSP, shall be deemed verified only to the extent available in ICAI’s official records. Any additional information, professional details, descriptions, preferences, listings, or other content submitted, uploaded or modified by registered users are based solely on user declarations.

ICAI does not independently verify such user-submitted information and disclaims any responsibility or liability for its accuracy, completeness, authenticity or correctness. The Portal merely provides search and discovery functionalities based on information furnished by registered users.

Registration on the portal enables members to:

• Network with fellow Chartered Accountants and CA firms
• Explore merger and partnership opportunities
• Seek or offer professional referrals
• Diversify into new service areas
• Expand presence to new locations

All Active Members of ICAI holding a valid Membership Number (MRN) and registered on ICAI Self Service Portal (SSP) and the enterprises seeking verified CA services are eligible to enroll on the Networking Portal.

Members can register by clicking the “Sign Up” option on the portal homepage. Registration is validated through ICAI SSP credentials and OTP verification. After successful validation, the user can create login credentials and access the dashboard.
