In brief

NammoraX is a digital marketing agency based in Puttur, Karnataka. For chartered accountants, accounting and bookkeeping firms and tax consultants in Mangaluru, Puttur, Udupi and coastal Karnataka we build firm websites with a write-up profile, partner pages, service pages marked reserved or non-reserved, a dated compliance calendar and an articles section, and we set up factual Google and directory profiles. ICAI’s revised Code of Ethics, effective 1 April 2026, eased advertising but kept the bans on solicitation and testimonials, and we build to that. The firm remains responsible for compliance, we do not give legal or professional-conduct advice, and nobody can guarantee rankings or enquiries. Websites start from ₹15,000.

Push promotions of services reserved for CAs

The rules in context

What changed for CA firm marketing in 2026

ICAI’s own announcements and the commentary on them, each dated and sourced at the end of this page. The Code of Ethics itself is the authoritative text.

The rules eased from 1 April 2026

ICAI’s Council approved amendments to the Advertisement and Website Guidelines in December 2025 as part of the revised 13th edition of the Code of Ethics, effective 1 April 2026, aligned with the 2024 IESBA code.

Solicitation is still prohibited

Published commentary stresses that the core prohibition on soliciting clients or professional work is unchanged. The easing is about presentation and channels, not about asking for work.

Push is allowed only in part

Under the revised guidelines, push-mode promotion such as newsletters is permitted for non-reserved services like accounting and consultancy, not for services reserved for CAs, such as audit.

No testimonials, no ratings

Testimonials, endorsements, banner advertisements, slogans and private awards remain outside what a CA firm website may carry, according to published summaries of the revised Code.

Aggregator apps are restricted

CAs may not list on commercial app aggregators for services reserved for them. ICAI encourages its own CA Connect listing, and government portals such as GeM are allowed.

Networks can have websites

The revised guidelines formally let network or alliance firms registered with ICAI maintain their own websites, subject to the same rules on content.

What a client sees first

Someone who needs a CA usually asks a friend or another professional, then looks the firm up on Google. What they find is your website and your listing. Under the guidelines that first impression has to come from facts: who the partners are, what the firm does, when it works and what it has written. It cannot come from ratings, testimonials or slogans, and a well-built, accurate, consistent presence is the proper way to be found.

Rules in 2026

What ICAI’s guidelines allow, and what your website should show

The advertising rules eased from 1 April 2026, but solicitation, testimonials and exaggerated claims are still out. We build to that, and a partner signs off every page.

What every page we build shows

The particulars ICAI’s guidelines list: firm name with “Chartered Accountants”, FRN, year of establishment, registered addresses, working hours, contacts, partners and membership numbers, staff by category, services and network
Honest, factual descriptions of services, qualifications and experience, with details matching your ICAI records
Articles, bulletins, professional updates and educational videos on professionally relevant topics, each dated and reviewed by a partner
Client names only with the client’s permission, and for services reserved for CAs only the name, not the nature of the assignment

What we will not create

Testimonials, endorsements, star ratings and “trusted by 500+ clients” claims, even when true
Exaggerated, comparative or superiority wording such as “best”, “No. 1” or “leading”, and slogans, monograms or private awards
Banner advertisements, requests to like or follow a page, countdown or urgency offers, and anything else that solicits work
Push-mode promotion (newsletters, notifications, ads) of services reserved for CAs, such as statutory audit and tax audit

ICAI rules at a glance, and what they mean for your website
Area	Rule or guideline	What it means for your website and content
Solicitation and advertisement	Clauses (6) and (7) of Part I of the First Schedule to the Chartered Accountants Act, 1949 bar solicitation and advertisement (as cited in ICAI’s 2020 advisory). The revised Code of Ethics (13th edition), approved by the Council in December 2025 and effective 1 April 2026, eases advertising and website guidelines but keeps the prohibition on solicitation.	A website is a “write-up” that may carry only the permitted particulars and factual content. We build to the published guidelines; the firm is responsible for compliance.
Websites: pull and push	Pull-mode information about any service is permitted. Push-mode promotion (newsletters, notifications) is permitted only for services not reserved for CAs, and banner advertisements remain prohibited (as summarised in TaxRoutine, June 2026).	Each service is marked reserved or non-reserved in the admin. Push features stay off for reserved services.
Testimonials and ratings	Testimonials and endorsements are not permitted (published summaries of the revised Code).	No testimonials, ratings, review campaigns or “trusted by” claims on the site or in the firm’s listings.
Directories and platforms	Commercial app aggregators may not be used for services reserved for CAs. Third-party platforms may carry consultancy and advice only. ICAI encourages its own CA Connect listing (published commentary).	We check each directory against the guidelines before creating a listing, and use only factual particulars.
Client data and confidentiality	Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 and Rules 2025: notice, purpose-specific consent that is easy to withdraw. The Code also requires confidentiality of client information. Re-check the dates before you rely on them.	Forms collect only what a call-back needs. No financial documents through public forms, email or WhatsApp; a login portal is offered instead.

This summarises ICAI announcements and published commentary compiled on 4 November 2026 and is general information, not legal or professional-conduct advice. Several sources are secondary and are marked below. Confirm each point against ICAI’s Code of Ethics (Volume I) and, where needed, with the Institute. We are a marketing agency, not advisers on professional conduct.

Where firms lose visibility

Six problems we fix first

Clients look a firm up before they call. Where your site is thin, your details differ between listings or your copy sounds like an advertisement the rules do not allow, they move on, or worse, someone notices.

Invisible when clients search

A business owner searching for “chartered accountant Mangaluru” or “GST registration Puttur” finds the firms that have a page for it. Without one, you are not in the results.

Particulars that differ from ICAI records

The guidelines require information consistent with the Institute’s records. Mismatched names, addresses or numbers raise questions.

Copy that crosses the line

“Best”, “trusted by 500+ clients”, star ratings and countdown offers are what the guidelines still prohibit. They are easy to add and costly to explain.

Compliance content that goes stale

Due dates are extended and rules change. A static deadline widget or old article misleads clients and reflects badly on the firm.

Client papers sent by WhatsApp and email

Financial documents scattered across chats are a confidentiality risk. A login portal keeps them in one place.

Different details in every listing

Mismatched addresses and working hours across your website, Google profile and directories confuse clients and AI assistants alike.

How it works

How a firm-site project runs, step by step

You confirm every particular before it is written, and a partner reviews each page before it goes live. Monthly retainers carry no lock-in.

Talk to us about your practice

Step 01

Firm facts and ICAI records intake

We collect your firm registration number, partner particulars, offices, working hours and service list, and compare them with your ICAI records. You confirm each fact in writing.

Step 02

Services and content rules

We mark each service as reserved or non-reserved, agree which pages are pull-only, and set the word list your pages must avoid. A partner is named as the content reviewer.

Step 03

Build

Dynamic website, firm and partner profile builder, service pages, write-up checker, dated compliance calendar, articles manager and a call-back form with consent and spam protection.

Step 04

Partner review and launch

A partner reads every page against the current Code of Ethics, Volume I. We test on a mid-range Android phone, validate the markup and submit the sitemap.

Step 05

Monthly report and upkeep

A plain-language report shows enquiries by source, popular articles and search visibility, with a short fix list and a quarterly review of the guidelines and your content. It never promises a ranking.

Sources, method and last review

Statements about ICAI’s rules come from ICAI’s press release and Code of Ethics (Volume I, as linked) and from published commentary; sources marked “secondary” are summaries and should be checked against the Code itself. Prices, timelines and tools describe what we offer; they are not results from past clients, and we have no CA-firm client case study to show yet. Written by NammoraX, last reviewed 4 November 2026. Re-check the Code of Ethics at every edit: ICAI updates its guidelines from time to time.

FAQ

Questions CA and accounting firms ask us

Can a CA firm have a website, and what can it show?

Yes. ICAI’s revised Code of Ethics (13th edition), effective 1 April 2026, eases the earlier restrictions on websites and advertising, but solicitation remains prohibited. A firm website works as a “write-up”: it may show the firm name with “Chartered Accountants”, the ICAI firm registration number, year of establishment, registered addresses, working hours, contact details, partners and their membership numbers, staff by category, services, and any network affiliation. It may also carry articles, updates and educational videos. We build to ICAI’s published guidelines and the firm confirms every fact.

Will you guarantee that the website is ICAI-compliant?

No one outside ICAI can certify that, and responsibility stays with the firm’s partners. We build to the published guidelines, set up a write-up checker that flags wording ICAI restricts, and ask the firm to review every page before it goes live. We recommend that a partner reads the final text against the current Code of Ethics, Volume I, because the guidelines are updated from time to time.

Can we show client testimonials, star ratings or “trusted by 500+ clients”?

No. Testimonials and endorsements remain outside the guidelines, according to published summaries of the revised Code. That includes quoted praise, star ratings and client-count claims, even when true. We also keep banner advertisements, slogans, monograms and private awards off the site. Client names can be mentioned only with the client’s permission, and for services reserved for CAs, such as statutory audit, only the name and not the nature of the assignment.

Can we send newsletters, run ads or post on social media?

The revised guidelines allow “push” communication such as newsletters and notifications only for services that are not reserved for CAs, such as accounting and general consultancy, and not for reserved services such as statutory or tax audit (as summarised in published commentary). Content must be informative rather than soliciting, and a website may not ask visitors to like or follow a page. Our admin panel marks each service as reserved or non-reserved and blocks push features for reserved ones.

Do you run Google review drives for CA firms?

No. Because testimonials and endorsements are not permitted, we do not run review campaigns, ask clients for ratings or show ratings on the firm’s website. The Google Business Profile we set up carries only the factual write-up particulars. Reviews that a client posts independently are outside the firm’s control, and a partner should check ICAI’s current position before engaging with them.

Can the site have a live deadline countdown for ITR and GST?

We replaced that idea. A countdown that urges action can look like solicitation, and tax due dates are often extended or changed. Instead the website carries a dated compliance calendar and update pages: every entry shows the date it was last verified and links to the official notification, and entries that are out of date are hidden automatically. It is informational content, the kind a firm blog or bulletin is allowed to carry.

Can clients chat with us or upload documents on the website?

The published summary of the Code lists chat with clients, with confidentiality protocols, and a document management portal with login and password among permitted website features, along with online advice to clients who specifically ask for it. A secure client portal is part of the Custom plan. We advise against asking clients to send financial documents through the public contact form, email or WhatsApp.

Can we list the firm on directory or app-based platforms?

Not on commercial app aggregators for services reserved for CAs, according to published commentary on the 2026 guidelines, and third-party platforms may carry consultancy and advice only, without the firm’s address or promotional detail. ICAI encourages its own CA Connect listing, and government portals are allowed. We check each directory against the guidelines before we create a listing.

How long does SEO take for a CA firm?

Search visibility builds over months and depends on competition, the quality and accuracy of the content and, for a CA firm, on what the guidelines allow us to do, which excludes testimonials and reviews. We agree measurable milestones at the start (indexing, search impressions, enquiries received) and report monthly. Optional monthly SEO and reporting starts from ₹8,000 per month, billed separately.

How much does a CA firm website cost?

Starter begins at ₹15,000 for a dynamic website with a firm and partner profile builder, service pages marked as reserved or non-reserved, a write-up checker, a dated compliance calendar, an articles manager, an enquiry form and an admin panel. Custom is quoted after a free call and covers an opt-in newsletter for non-reserved services, a secure client portal, several offices and Kannada pages. Domain and hosting are paid to those providers.
