22 May 2009 Sir, i want book for practise purpose not for student. The book which is more advanced and cover every issue, every point.

03 August 2025 For an advanced, practice-oriented Income Tax book that covers every point in detail and is suitable for professional use (not just for students), here’s a quick guide based on your query:

1. V.K. Singhania
Highly recommended for professionals — detailed, comprehensive, and regularly updated.

Covers all aspects of Income Tax with practical examples, case laws, circulars, and notifications.

Suitable for practitioners, tax consultants, and advanced learners.

Sometimes a bit heavy, but very thorough.

2. T.N. Manoharan
Easier language and more student-friendly.

Good for understanding concepts clearly but less detailed for advanced practice compared to Singhania.

More suited for exam preparation or beginners.

3. Padhukas
Known for practical insights and concise explanations.

Useful for professionals who want quick, to-the-point information.

Not as detailed as Singhania but better than beginner books.

Summary Table
Book Level Use Case
V.K. Singhania Advanced/Practitioner Best for detailed practice and reference
Padhukas Intermediate Good for quick reference and practice
T.N. Manoharan Beginner/Student Easy reading, good for concepts

Final Recommendation
For full, advanced coverage and practical use, V.K. Singhania’s book is the best choice.

You can keep Manoharan or Padhukas as supplementary quick reference.
