Plz help

yes, IDT is going through major changes and my suggestion is that you should join coaching classes for taxes as nearer to ur attempt as possible, as regards DT you may not recquire classes it is practically same as it was in PCC only a few procedural topics like assessment  and all are added for these you may recquire classes.

Thanks for giving ur valuable suggestions

Hi himani...taxation papers of final are subject to amendments made by finance act as well as departmental circulars and notifications issued time to time.

icai exams covers amendments and notification/circulars 6 months prior to 1st date of relevevant exam attempt....i.e. for november 2013 examination all amendments upto 30th april 2013 need to be understood and prepared.

all the coaching classes of idt which are going to start in may 2013 are aimed at november 2013 examination,hence u need not have any seprate amendment classes.

as for direct tax paper next assessment year as would be appllicable for may and november 2013 exam remains same.

hence even if u take classes now for may 2013 exam,you would be covering for november 2013 also.

final direct tax paper is far wider in length and analysis as compared to pcc,hence coaching is essential for sound praparation.

i would recommend you to join coaching for DT In coming november 2012 batch and IDT in MAY 2013 BATCH.

Regards

plan ur DT and IDT classes so dat they get over near to your attempt so dat u wont need to go through amendments seperately but make sure u revise regularly dont w8 4 ur classes 2 end nd den revise. at least 3 revisions are needed in DT 2 attempt ur paper confidently
