how many hours of study is require for getting pass the pcc exam ( from now may 2010)

I had booked a flat in 2006 with a reputed builder. Towards this an agreement for construction and agreement for sell was executed. The payments were made as per the schedule of the builder. The UDS was registered in my Name while 85% of the construction was completed. Now the builder is refusing to handover the key as i have refused to pay service tax & works contract tax of totalling 4.04% of the construction cost.

Pls inform whether ST & WCT is payable by me as Allottee? If not, how to get the key as I have paid entire consideration of the flat.

Are prior period expenses are disallowed in current year?
If yes, why, because if we had not accrued them then in last year also we had not taken under exp, so if in current year these are disallowed then is it total loss for co. means in neither of years it is allowed.

I WANT TO KNOW THAT WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO CALCULAT THE DOS ON CR SALE OR INCULDING TOTAL SALE :

A) Total Debetors/(CR Sale/365)

B) Total Debetors/(CR Sale+Cash Sale/365)

I had sold a plot of land in August 2008 resultinh into some amount of Long Term Capital Gain after the benefit of indexation.
Since I am posted to a place other than my native place and due to professional pre occupation I just kept the major amount of consideration (nearly 90%) in FDR for one year. Please advise me how I can save income Tax on this money.
Also please specifically consider a case where if I deposit the full money upfront with a builder for the purpose of acquiring a new house/flat now whether this amount of deposit will be tax exempt or not.
If yes what will be the status if Builder have no ready flat and propose to offer posession within one year from Aug 2008 and within two year from Aug 2008- The date of actual capital gain?
