Ya SD Bala is a good book for SFM...

I dont know abt the book but his language given in the class notes is very simple . 

for basic study of the topic u can refer J B Gupta.. but refer one book for exams.

Thx Rikin.

Book by Sir Pattabhi Ram is good for SFM...

Take a look at it..

but some says it skips many topics...????

No it doesn't skip any topics....

If you've enough patience to read it, you'll find everything..

Moreover, it's ICAI's refernce material..

Agreed. it include all the concepts but does not includes enough Q for practice. In SFM learning only concept will not do.

it skips topics like security analyses, dividend.....
