PAN cards, Aadhaar, bank details — it's all sitting in your folders.
Think about your CA's office. It has your PAN card, Aadhaar, bank statements, and salary slips. It has your family details too. Now think — where is all this saved? In folders? In emails? On WhatsApp? If something goes wrong, who is responsible? Under India's new data law, your CA firm must protect all of this. Today.
If you run a CA firm, check your computer right now. You will find client PAN cards in email folders. You will find Aadhaar copies on WhatsApp. You will find salary slips in shared drives. All of this is people's private information. India's new data law says you must protect it. If it leaks, you can face heavy fines. A client's bank details in the wrong hands can destroy their life. You are responsible for keeping it safe.
