…..

Group 1 –

SFM - J B Gupta book with DVD Lactures (BEST) (Taxmann Publication).

Group 2 –

AMA / Costing - Padhuka or Ravi M Kishore (BEST) plus Study Material, Compiler and Practice Manual (Prepare your own notes for theory portion – Must cover theory given in Practice Manual).

ISCA - Manish M Valechha ISCA TextBook (BEST) (Memory Based Edition)... it is Best book to secure high marks in ISCA. Very well written with awesome presentation… comprehensive yet easy to understand... It explains all topics with examples, diagrams, memory codes (refer Study Material if you have sufficient time but not actually required). And at last, go through Practice manual for important questions.

Direct Taxes - T.N. Manoharan Plus Summary Module of Vinod Gupta (Prepare notes for lengthy and typical portion, if possible). Also check T G Suresh’s DT book it is very concise book (BEST for revision). It can be completed easily.

Dear shaan,

I have been into self study since the very beginning. I have felt the best books for your enquired subjects are :-

SFM - V pattabhai ram, SD Bala (Snowwhite publications)

AMA - Sanjay agrawal

DT - Vinod Gupta

ISCA - Padhuka (from personal experience, mug up the whole book. Syllabus is not much) i scoed 72 in ISCA studying from this book.

SFM - AN sridhar this book has large number of pactical question and concept based theory it will help you to be confident in this subject.

DT - Vinod Gupta - Very detailed but easy language just read this few times all done !

ISCA - Manish Valechha - If you want 60+ in all situations. My so many friends had used this book to clear their entire second group and succeeded. it has memory tricks to grasp the matter.

Cost - Institute study material and practice manual will be sufficient.
