Old edition books can i follow them

Final 323 views 3 replies

Hi. I gave my ca final attempt nov 2012 and I couldn't clear tax after that I didn't take up the exam at all since I am abroad and with kids. Now I am planning to take up the exam either in nov or may 2017. I know there will be amendments every 6 months and that I cannot use my old books. But I just wanted to know if there would be major changes in subjects like SFM and AMA?? Can I just update with amendments for these subjects and continue with 2013 edition books or should I definitely go for new ones..please give me your suggestions on how should I proceed staying here and doing self study.. I will only be coming to appear for the exams.. Also please share any good online lectures for any subject. Thanks in advance

Hi, even if there are no major amendnents in sfm and ama, it is still suggested you get the new edition of books as a lot of new illustrations and problems would have been included in the past four years, You can order the bookd online in ICAI website itself or if you wont be able to get the books you can download the soft copies also from the website. For what all subjects do you need coaching ? I can suggest video classes accordingly.

Further, just do a research of the best recommended books for Ca final online, you can use these books complemented by the study materials of ICAI for self study

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For other subjects you have to get the new editions of study mat and pm.

You can refer the following books also:

1. FR- MP.Vijaykumar

    AS- DS Rawat

2. JB GUpta

As for the other subjects are concernes you have to get the new editions of the bookd

Please ignore the last part of the previous reply... That is incomplete

Thank u so much for ur response divya... U r right and this is what I was wondering too but I cannot get books shipped here.. I am planning to take printouts of iCai material and pm here. I just wanted to make sure there are no changes or additions to the syllabus after 2013 in AMA and SFM ..since I have old books I thought if there is no change I can add suggested answers of the remaining years and incorporate that into my study material too. I know it's always better to go with the latest edition..if u could suggest me video lectures or online classes all subjects especially  for direct taxes , AMA it would be really helpful. Thanks again for ur time
