Ravinder broke the custom of not indulging into his family business, rather he moved the steering wheel of his life towards Chartered Accountancy profession after graduating Bachelors of Commerce from DAV College, Jalandhar and simultaneously doing his Masters of Commerce from Himachal Pradesh University. He fulfilled his innate desire to understand the intricacies of legal world by doing Bachelors of Law from Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar.

Ravinder won various accolades of success to his name but all this was not built overnight, these laurels were achieved by sleepless nights and rigorous efforts and on his journey of acquiring and sharing of knowledge, he contributed to the profession by being Vice-Chairman of Jalandhar Branch of NIRC of ICAI from 1995-1998, Chairman of Jalandhar branch of NIRC of ICAI for the year 2008-2009, Member of Regional Tax Advisory Committee of CBDT, New Delhi, Member of Direct Tax Committee of ICAI for the Year 2011-2012, Special Invitee in Direct Tax Committee of ICAI for the Year 2012-2013, Member of Indirect Tax Committee of ICAI for the Year 2013-2014, Member of Board of Studies of ICAI for 2014-15, Senate Member of Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar from 01.07.2014 to 30.06.2016, Member of Committee on Economic, Commercial Laws & WTO and Economic Advisory of ICAI for the Year 2017-2018 and at present he is on the panel of authors of “Tax Guru”, the well known website for dissemination of taxation and other related information.

During the Pandemic, when the whole world was unwillingly put to still, Ravinder discovered his love for writing and he wrote three books on topics that hold all the reins of taxation, i.e. “Know When to Say No to Cash Transactions”, “A 360° Approach to Presumptive Taxation” and “TDS: A 3-Dee System” and gave the professionals and other readers the much needed clarity on various topics of direct taxes.
