- Bulk GST reconciliation across dozens of clients

4. ChatGPT / Claude for Drafting
CAs are increasingly using ChatGPT or Claude to draft response letters to tax notices, prepare audit observation memos, and summarize complex circular interpretations from CBDT/CBIC. Always have a qualified CA review AI-generated tax content before sending.
ICAI and AI: What’s Permitted?
ICAI has not prohibited AI tool usage in CA practice, but emphasizes that the member remains professionally responsible for all outputs. AI-generated tax advice, audit reports, and compliance documents must be reviewed and signed off by a qualified CA. This applies to all tools listed above.
