FAQ :

The ICAI has released official study guidelines for Intermediate Paper 3, Section B: Goods and Services Tax (GST), applicable for the September 2025 examination cycle.

The provisions of the CGST Act, 2017 and IGST Act, 2017, as amended by the Finance (No. 2) Act, 2024, are applicable. Amendments effective up to February 28, 2025, including notifications and circulars, are within the exam scope.

Key exclusions include tax rates for goods and services under CGST/IGST, exemptions for goods, specific place of supply rules for imports/exports and tourists, provisions on changes in tax rate for time of supply, detailed valuation rules (CGST Rules 27-35), and several input tax credit provisions.

Students should rely on the October 2024 edition of the Study Material and the Statutory Update for September 2025, which will include amendments notified up to February 28, 2025.
