Any law which is applicable 6 months before exams are applicable for that exam.....GST is proposed to be applicable from april 2016 so,It is not possible to be applicable for may 2016.Regarding IAS they are proposed to be compulsory applicable from april 2016...so it shall not be applicable for may 2016.
regarding changes in iDT...it has already been done..apart from GST....And changes in other subjects would be minor if any.Any major changes in sylllabus would be applicable for students newly regsitered for CA coiurse.There would be two part of ca final-OLD syllabus and new syllabus |

Hi Ankush, I amnt sure this 6 months rule applies in case of each and every revision. GST obviously will not be applicable for May 2016 exams. As a matter of fact, we all know that the amendments in direct taxes & indirect taxes made for a financial year are appilcable only in the subsequent year's exams. I also fully agree that the changes in syllabus other than those made pursuant to any amendments in law,standards,etc,. will only be applicable for the students registering under the new syllabus. But I have doubts about the non-applicability of IND AS for May 2016(in case IND AS are made mandatory from 1.4.2016). AS 30-32 which became mandatory from 1.4.2011 were part of the syllabus for May 2011 attempt. Similarly, seven auditing standards which were introduced from 1.4.2011 were included in the syllabus for the May 2011 attempt. So it isnt like it has never happened before.
