India bought the least gold in 6 years.

Yet spent a record nearly ₹2 lakh crore on it.

Sounds impossible until you realise people didn't stop buying gold.

They simply bought fewer grams due to high price.

It's a small difference, but it completely changes how you read the data.

Another thing the CA course gives you is friends.

Right from coaching classes to articleship to the office, we get to make a lot of friends, and they become friends for life.

Happy Friendship Day! ❤️

Your ITR due date could be 31st August.

If you have business income, professional income, or F&O trading income, your return is likely to be filed using ITR-3, and your due date is 31 August 2026.

Don't assume the same deadline applies to everyone. Check your applicable due date and file on time.

ICAI has decided to reopen the CA Final Examination Form window. Notification will come soon.

Great news for students who missed the form!

[CA Anant Sekhsaria @anant_sekhsaria]

You could be losing money... just because you didn't file your ITR.

Even if you had no tax to pay.

As a CA, I still recommend filing your ITR in most cases.

Here's why:

• You could miss claiming a TDS refund.
• Your ITR builds your financial track record.
• It can help while applying for loans and even certain visas and credit cards.
• Filing on time can preserve your eligibility to carry forward certain losses and save tax in future years.

Many people think an ITR is only about paying taxes.

It isn't.

It's one of the most important financial documents you'll ever have.

Last match?
Rohit is Finished?
Time to move on?

Rohit Sharma let the bat answer.

He has now become the first Indian ever to score an ODI century at Lord's.

I think most people are missing what's happening in gold right now.

Not because of the price.

Because of who's quietly buying it.

And it might explain where gold prices may go next.

My prediction in the last thread. Keep reading.

@anant_sekhsaria @Snapchat @snapchatsupport please look into this

[CA Anant Sekhsaria @anant_sekhsaria]

I was feeling guilty that I spent ₹650 on a pizza instead of investing that money in the stock market.

Then I found out people actually pay money to restore their Snapchat streaks. 🔥

If you and a Marwari family earn the same income for the next 20 years...

There's a good chance they'll end up wealthier.

Not because they got lucky.

But because many of them don't just earn money - they make their money work to earn even more.

That ₹5 lakh facility is actually an insurance cover.

It's arranged by the administration for every devotee entering the Puri municipal area during Rath Yatra.

I realised Rath Yatra isn't just one of India's biggest religious festivals, but biggest planning exercises.

[CA Anant Sekhsaria @anant_sekhsaria]

The most surprising thing about Rath Yatra...

isn't just the crowd.

Every devotee entering Puri has a ₹5 lakh facility.

I genuinely had no idea this existed.

Suppose you have ₹20 lakh worth of jewellery in your bank locker.

If it's lost because of a robbery or fire, don't assume the bank will pay you ₹20 lakh.

There's one RBI rule that a lot of us don't know.

Solution mentioned in the end. Keep reading.

Your landlord receives money from you every month.

Your electricity provider receives money from you every month.

Your telecom operator receives money from you every month.

Congratulations. You have already built multiple sources of income..

For everyone else. 😭

Even if you take a company from ₹0 to thousands of crores in revenue in just 5 years… salty journalists will somehow only focus on what’s missing. 🙃

@anant_sekhsaria Helpful feature

[CA Anant Sekhsaria @anant_sekhsaria]

Every time you read:
“If you had invested ₹1,00,000 in 2015…”

…it feels like something was missed.
But most didn’t miss it.
Global investing just wasn’t accessible then.

On 04.01.26, I placed an order → order failed but amount was debited.
Placed it again → same issue.
Third attempt finally went through.

Refund for the 2 failed orders is still pending despite multiple follow-ups with customer care.
