FR - PADHUKA
SFM - SRIDHAR
AUDIT - V K AGARWAL or SURBHI BANSAL
LAW - MUNISH BHANDARI
FR - M P Vijay Kumar is best for self-study. P.C.Tulsian is also good. Padhuka is good for practise of questions only.
SFM - S.D.Bala is best for clarity of concepts. However, if u have taken classes somewhere, then refer, A.N.Sridhar. A.N.Sridhar has very good collection of sums and just enough explanations.
Law - Munish Bhandari Main Book is the best option along with PM. U may refer Handbook for revisions, if u have difficulty in preparing notes. If u r short of time, u may directly refer HandBook + PM for some low weightage chapters.
And for audit..? is v k agarwal book the best?
Audit - Pankaj Garg/V.K.Agarwal/Surbhi Bansal all three are good & similar. However Padhuka give a more detailed knowledge and improves understanding.
FR-MP Vijaykumar
SFM-Sridhar
Audit-Pankaj garg
Law-Study Material and Munish bhandari
And PM for all the subjects
Seems like u r giving 1st group only
Fr - MP vijay Kumar
Sfm - Shridhar only if u had taken classes earlier.. otherwise SD bala..
Audit - Pankaj garg is good with tabular presentation.. however it is a bit lengthy coz of detailed explanations.. but it CA final.. and audit is an core subject.. expert knowledge is a must...
law - munish bhandari is best
And yeah Pm is common for all of the above...

Thank you All for your valuable suggestions and guidance..

For audit, go for vikas oswal.

Detailed and conceptual explanations along wth flowcharts for all SA's

FR MPV
SFM Pattabhi or Sridhar indifferent
audit Vikas Oswal or padhuka
law Tejpal Sheth because of font size and presentation otherwise Munish Bhandari and Tejpal Sheth indifferent
audit Surbhi bhansal VK Agarwal Pankaj Garg are all same with focus mainly on PE co audit... STDs are very poor from these books. Kamal Garg is very good for STDs but other topics little discrepancies are there so best are Vikas Oswal or padhuka.. if time is little then Oswal else padhuka

Further adding to this, can someone let me know if Swapnil Patni's law notes are good, if anyone has seen or tried it?

(I dont want to read from Munish Bhandari)
