Yes, the Council of the Institute considered the issue whether the goodwill of a proprietary firm of a Chartered Accountant can be sold/transferred to another eligible member of the Institute, after the death of the proprietor concerned and came to the view that the same is permissible. Accordingly, the Council passed the Resolution that the sale/ transfer of goodwill in the case of a proprietary firm of Chartered Accountant to another eligible member of the Institute, shall be permitted.
