Noted CA And Trustee Hoshang Wania Passes Away

Numerous members of the community expressed grief over the death of noted Chartered Accountant and Trustee of multiple trusts, Hoshang Wania, who passed away on 16th December, 2020. He was known to be a simple man of principals and a true Zarthosti who was helpful to all. His funeral was held at Doongerwadi at the Albless Bungli.

In a tribute to Hoshang Wania, BPP Trustee Noshir Dadrawala shares:

“Hoshang Wania was known to me since 35 years. His religious beliefs were traditional but he was never too vocal about his beliefs nor was he a bigot. He was a professional and meticulous to the core. He never chased money or fame and was passionate about his work. He was always simple in attire and demeanour.

He often used to drop in to lament about the disenabling tax laws for charities or to seek clarifications from me on matters pertaining to FCRA. Several trusts benefited from either his guidance or pro bono services.

He suffered many challenges in life but bore them silently and bravely. Many years ago, he was diagnosed with a brain tumour but returned to his hectic schedule soon after surgery. Later, his hearing got affected but he continued to work tirelessly. Over the last couple of years, his health suffered and he is now relieved from his mortal suffering and has attained immortality in the hearts of all those whom he served so selflessly – the poor, young students, those needing medical assistance and those needing his professional expertise.

Today on his passing, we admire his passion for service and professional competence. But what stands out most are his very Human, Humane and Humble qualities. Adieu Hoshang! It is time now to open new books of account in the other world with no balance carried forward from here. You leave no liabilities but lots of assets in terms of your good deeds. What a nice Balance Sheet of life!”

May Ahura Mazda grant his noble soul Garothman Behest.
