President's Words

Ramakant Pathare

2026-2028

Dear Members,
As I humbly assume the esteemed responsibility of President of the Tax Practitioners’ Association of Ratnagiri District, my heart is filled with pride, gratitude, and renewed determination. The journey of our Association so far has been a remarkable testament to collective wisdom, professional excellence, and social commitment. The invaluable contributions and visionary leadership of our past three Presidents CA Mandar Gadgil, Adv Abhijit Berde & CA Varadraj Pandit and their committees have illuminated the path of progress we now continue to walk upon.

Having had the privilege to serve as Secretary in the first committee, as a Committee Member in the second, and as an Invitee Member in the third, I have closely witnessed the Association’s dedication, unity, and continual growth. The experiences gained through these years will serve as guiding light in steering our new committee toward greater achievements.

Our Association takes immense pride in organizing monthly study meets, seminars, and workshops on diverse tax laws — including Income Tax, GST, Profession Tax, and VAT — for the enrichment of members and their staff. We also conduct tax awareness programs for trade organizations, actively resolve members’ professional issues with tax authorities, and nurture sports, cultural, and social activities to strengthen the bond among professionals.

In the years ahead, our vision is to elevate these initiatives to greater heights — making them more inclusive, impactful, and forward-looking. Upholding the core values of professional integrity, continuous learning, and social responsibility, we aspire to expand the horizons of our Association’s work and influence.

With the unwavering support, unity, and enthusiasm of all members, I am confident that the Tax Practitioners’ Association of Ratnagiri District, will continue to scale new peaks of success and recognition.

Warm regards,

Ramakant Chandrakant Pathare.
President
Tax Practitioner's Association of Ratnagiri District
