He left politics for studies and went to England in 1909 and passed F.L.A.A. (Lond.) and started practice as a Registered Accountant on his return to Lahore (India) 1910. He was Fellow of The Association of certified and Corporate Accountants (London) Since 1911 and he was their representatives in India till his last. He attended the Lucknow Session of the Indian National Congress and opposed the Lucknow Pact as he considered it an anti-national Pact. He attended the session of the Punjab Political Conference held in Bradlaugh Hall, Lahore in April 1917 under the presidency of Late Mian Fazal-i-Hussain and opposed the ratification of the Lucknow Pact although he belonged to a minority community as it was anti-national. The Pact was the forerunner of the vivisection of India. He was a Pioneer in starting a Political Movement amongst the Sikhs in 1918 with the consultation of Hindu friends of the Congress for claiming a separate and special representation for the Sikhs in Punjab as an important minority like Muslims in other provinces. He was Founder of Sikh League and was its Secretary from 1919-23. He was First Sikh Member of A.LC.C. 1919-28. Vice-President and President Lahore City Congress Committee 1920-21-23.

He was Founder and editor of magazine Indian Chartered Accountant and Secretary (now Indian Accountant) in 1922-53. Following books was written by him :

He was also Founder Member of Indian Chamber of Commerce Lahore and its Hony. Secretary from 1927-42 and President 1942-43 now known as Northern India Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Chandigarh.

After partition he started Delhi Chamber of Commerce in June, 1950 as a national organisation. He was its Hony. Secretary from 1950 to till his last 1970. In between he was elected as President of the Chamber for one year 1954-55. His Name used to appear in International who's who.

It is difficult to pen down in details the services of Sirdar P.S. Sodhbans who was a soldier, chartered accountant, economist, political leader, author, journalist, social worker and friend of the poor. There never was a greater defender of the Panth than Sirdar Sodhbans, and country can be proud of this Patriot and servant who always kept the interest of the people above self. By writing his short biography I pay my homage to Sirdar P.S. Sodhbans the founder of this Chamber and I feel priveleged to have been given this opportunity.
