The Institute has recently published new study material for Indirect Taxes and in the Initial Pages, it is specified that although the material is for Nov 14 exams, it is also relevant for May 14 exams alogwith certain changes. For eg. VAT needs to be studied through the appendix. This might give a notion that old marking scheme of Excise (40), Service Tax & VAT(40) and Customs(20) will be followed, but no clarification has been issued in this regard. Can someone confirm this marking scheme?

Also, I tried posting this query on "e sahyaata" and found that "e sahyaata" is only for administrative queries and not techinical clarifications by ICAI. Is this true?
