How to get 60+ marks in direct tax paper

No sir its Not difficult getting 60+ in DT. Due to time constraints I had studied in all for 3 days DT wrote Paper for 85 & got 55 so You can get 60+ in DT

Study all Amendments & case laws Book issued by ICAI applicable for the Exams, Then go the Theory Part of Appeals/Revisions/Adv rulings/Authorities & jurisdictions / Asst procedures & Misc Provisions, After that go with Computations Part & practical aspects & dont be surprised if you get 60 - 65+ in DT But be sure that you attempt Paper for full 100 Marks. Else atleast 90 + marks & you will get 60+

All the best

 

 And may be u will get the 60+..

You can cover topics in following order -

1. Profits and Gains

2. Capital Gains

3. Other Sources and Chapter VI-A deductions

4. Computation of Income for a Company (Including MAT) and Firms (Including AMT).

5. Select Cases in Direct Taxes published by ICAI. 

6. Wealth Tax. 

About 35-40 Marks would be covered from above. 

Then you can refer Return of Income, Assessment Procedure, DTAA, Transfer pricing. 

Few short questions can be answered from your PE II/IPCC knowledge and Articleship knowledge. 

Be thorough with latest amendments. 

Dear Friends, Thanks for your advices. Now have one more small question is summary book sufficient of VG for covering all these topics or will have to study each module in depth. For case law and amendments studying the ICAI supplementary study material. Please let me k ow your feedback Regards Deepak Arora

Hi Deepak..

I wont suggest you to go for only summary book of VG.

According to me u should read each & every module in depth & then try revising the concepts from summary book.

This practice will help u in revising the things the day before exams.
