T.N MANOHARAN's BOOK

Practice Total Income problems from T N Manoharan and for the service tax part and VAt it is best if You study from the Practice manual of ICAI.....

For Indirect taxes, institute module is the best..

I just answered tax paper today and came,  you can trust me as there 90% marks direct questions from practice module..

For direct tax T.N manoharan is good and sufficient

Also for Direct tax, buy a problem and solution book(not the main book) of VK singhania, its very very handy at last moment..entire chapter is given thoroughly in just 4-5 pages and when you revise from there, it will be easier for you to connect and relate different sub-topics..unbelievable..helped me big time..

Have a judicious mix of TN manoharan + Problem and solution of VK singhania...

You will be able to finish some huge chapters like PGBP and CG in just few hours, if you first read provision in brief from VK singhania( which is only 4-5 pages) and then read TN Manoharan...
