Business or profession

CAPITAL GAINS

ASSESSMENT PROCEDURE

TAXATION FOR COMPANIES

These chapters are lenghty and important attack them first

All the best for your exams

I personally believe that tax is not the subjec that can be done one after the other... Rather, its like spider web, where all the webs connect each other...

So, u've to remain in touch wid almost all chapters while beggining wid any new chapter... BEST OF LUCK

Sivaram is right...start like what he said...then towards end follow what dhirav said...if u are afraid of even manoharan...then what to say of other books!!!!

I think Bangar is best because it leave no Caselaw of even ITAT. Suppose you are studyig Section 147 from bangar. All the SC/HC/ITAT cases that too recent will be given at one place.
