Chartered Accountant · Law Graduate · Enrolled Agent (US Tax)
Born in 1966 in Sirsa, Haryana, Vinod Rawal grew up in a household where the value of honest work was lived daily — his mother a teacher, his father a man who spent his working life in the precincts of the courts. The foundation they laid was not one of material abundance, but of moral clarity and quiet discipline.
When he moved to Delhi in 1984, at the age of 18 years, to pursue Chartered Accountancy, it was with very limited means but a clear sense of direction. The early years in the city demanded patience, adjustment, and the kind of perseverance that only those who have truly started from scratch can understand. There were no shortcuts taken, no principles compromised.
"Circumstances may shape the beginning, but it is consistency and discipline that define the journey."
Qualifying as a Chartered Accountant in 1988, he formally established V. Rawal & Co. in 1992 — a practice that would grow over three decades into a multi-disciplinary firm of national standing. More than the firm, what has been built is a reputation: for integrity, for rigour, and for placing the long-term interests of those he advises above all else.
The journey has been one of continuous expansion — not merely of practice, but of perspective. Law, international taxation, forensic compliance, artificial intelligence, cross-border advisory — each new domain approached with the same disciplined curiosity that has defined the whole.
Every milestone in this journey reflects a deliberate choice — to grow, to learn, and to serve with greater depth. This is not a biography of outcomes, but of commitments.
Raised in a modest middle-class family where education and integrity were the highest values. The seeds of discipline and purposeful living were sown in these early years.
With limited means and a resolve that more than compensated, he arrived in Delhi to pursue his calling. The years that followed were demanding — but they shaped the professional he would become.
After years of rigorous study and articleship, he qualified as a Chartered Accountant from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India — the beginning of a professional identity built on exactness and ethics.
The formal establishment of V. Rawal & Co. as a Chartered Accountancy partnership firm in New Delhi — built on the depth of advisory and the steadiness of counsel. In practice, and growing, ever since.
Admitted as a Fellow Member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India upon completion of five years of continuous practice — the highest class of membership conferred by ICAI.
A deliberate expansion into technology-driven audit and cross-border taxation. These qualifications positioned the practice at the intersection of digital compliance and global finance.

A return to formal education to deepen the legal dimension of advisory work — an investment in depth, not credentials. This strengthens engagements in litigation, succession planning, and cross-border compliance.
Certified in AML by ICAI — reinforcing a commitment to compliance integrity in an increasingly regulated environment.
Certified in Alternative Dispute Resolution by ICAI — enabling structured, non-litigation resolution of financial and commercial disputes. A natural extension of advisory depth into conflict resolution.
Qualified as an Enrolled Agent authorised to practise before the US Internal Revenue Service — extending advisory to the Indo-US tax corridor. Simultaneously deepened specialisation in FEMA for cross-border regulatory compliance.
Certified by ICAI in the application of artificial intelligence in financial advisory and professional practice — positioning the firm at the frontier of technology-enabled accountancy.
Advanced certification in AI at Level 2 from ICAI, deepening the integration of artificial intelligence into professional practice — reinforcing a commitment to staying at the forefront of technology-driven accountancy.
Comprehensive coverage of foreign exchange management, cross-border transactions, and regulatory compliance for individuals and entities with overseas financial interests.
This chronicle spans over five decades — from a disciplined beginning in Sirsa to the frontier of artificial intelligence. Every qualification earned in service of those he advises.
The following works are authored by Vinod Rawal, drawing on decades of professional practice and insight.
This book is not a Law book but is a family story of a couple parent living in india, their children and family members living abroad with their ties in different countries due to work, education and other reasons.
Story of this book revolve around their day to day questions and is a effort to resolve the tax and financial issues amongst them all as Indian resident, Non Residents, Gifting rules, capital gains, FEMA issues, Benami properties and Black money act compliances to safeguard complications in future and to improve legal, cultural and family relations.
Also this book talks about investments, inheritance and succession planning. This book contains more than 100 FAQ, 7 Laws in 15 chapters, which make this book a handbook to know the quick answers.
A handbook on business strategy that reframes the common wisdom around goal-setting. Sustainable professional success is built not by rewriting ambitions when obstacles arise, but by developing the discipline to change one's actions — persistently and intelligently — in pursuit of those that remain fixed. A reflection of the philosophy that has guided a career of thirty-seven years.
Not as a policy, but as a practice. Every engagement conducted with full transparency and an unwavering commitment to what is right — regardless of convenience.
The quality that sustains everything else. In preparation, execution, and the long-term relationships that define a practice of genuine value.
To take full ownership of the counsel given and the outcomes it shapes. Those who trust their financial lives deserve nothing less.
The rarest of professional virtues — across decades, contexts, and the full complexity of matters entrusted. This is what a legacy is made of.
"Circumstances may shape the beginning, but it is consistency and discipline that define the journey."
