Hi Rashmi,

Its quiet normal that after a break of 5  years, you will find difficulty to get back.

Moreover there is nothing to panic, the first thing what you need to do is be confident and believe in your own ablility. .

Next important step is you need to build up yourself to come upto date.

Start looking at accounting standards on ICAI website , look at various updates available on the caclubindia website.Lot of information on TDS rates, due dates etc are avaliable. Look into Caalley.com. This will help you to bring yourself upto date. Do visit the incometaxindia,.com site for income tax updates.

Probably once you update yourself with  your hardwork you can be upto date. Last but not the least develop your excel skills which is a  must for any Finance person.

I am sure you will be okay with in a 1-2 months.

 

Regards,

CA. Siju George
