TIOL limits access to 1000 times while others do not as only one person at a time can have access.This restriction is unfair and hope ICAI re-negotiate in wider interest of its members !!
why limit access to 1000 number in case of TIOL…this is not fair ….as at a time only one access is possible as in all cases….will ICAI re-negotiate on this restriction in usage in the wider interest of members?
