First of all, you have to understand the difference between the two acts..
1. Income Tax Act, 1961.
As per IT Act, Finance Act is applicable from 01.04.XXXX itself even if it gets assent from LOK Sabha, RAJYA Sabha and President later on. It is in our constitution..
2. Chartered Accountants Act, 1949.
As per CA Act, All notifications, circulars, amendments and even Finance Act is only applicable if its actually been passed before 31.10.XXXX or before 30.04.XXXX for MAY & NOV Exams respectively.
