I agree wid Gaurav ji..go 4 Bangar 4 IDT !!

Banger is good if you are not feeling comfortable with this.. then refer M. Rafi IDT textbook. it is good for concepts.

paduka also d best book 4 idt

Paduka's book is good for IDT. The presentation is in question answer format and Fast track referncer is so helpful for revision.

The earlier edition of Bangar was co-authored by Yogendra Bangar, Vandana Bangar and Vineeth Sodhani. However the latest edition printed in Sept 2012 is by Yogendra Bangar and Vandana Bangar only priced around Rs760 and a separate one from Vineeth Sodhani priced at the range of Rs695. Which one would be better to buy for May 2013 exams. From the review read both these books look to be really good. Please give your valuable inputs. 

Bangar is good....n latest rtp for xams is must for idt....

Paduka is a die hard practical book... with question answer format and one can also go for Gupta.. Bangar and M.Rafi are some what very descripttive and lacks examples to understand clearly.

Go for  Bangar Book and Institute Practise manual... If yu want in dept knowledge Vaitheswaran sir's book is also good... but for examination point of view i would suggest bhangar

Bangar is a good source.

Firstly, make up your mind as to which book you will be referring as the main text. In this regard, the important resources, which must be at your disposal, should be:

1. Supplementary Study Material of Direct and Indirect Taxes of Final Course issued by ICAI.

2. Select Cases in Direct and Indirect Tax Laws - An essential reading for Final Course issued by ICAI.

3. Latest ICAI Practice Manual - A Y 2013-2014.

4. Revision Test paper for May 2013 Examination.

5. The Main textbook selected as the base for your entire reading (select only one book - most preferred is Bangar). There is no particular sequence you have to follow but be judicious in application of your mind on the priorities.

Now, you should draw up a schedule and ensure that you are able to devote daily few hours on this paper.  

Specific tips in case if you are referring Bangar Book: 

At the time of preparation, make your own concise but complete notes, which will be handy at the time of revision as well a day before examination.

Segregate your notes into various parts, viz,

1. Main provision of the Act (observe carefully the number of times a particular question has appeared in the examination).

2. Amendments as per Finance Act 2012. 

3. Values, applicable rates, dates (prepare a chart and revise it at regular interval). 

4. Formulas / Formats for solving Numerical problems.

5. Case laws, circulars and notifications (including some landmark judgments).

Here’s wishing you best of luck.

Mohd.Rafi's book is one of the worst in the market....I bought it after reading favourable reviews here and its poor.

I would suggest either bangar or VS Datey.
