Note -
The Institute has already updated the publications based on November’14 syllabus. It has instructed May’14 students to use the updated publications with some special guidelines as below.
- For CA IPC students only revised material for Part I i.e. Income-tax will be relevant for Paper 4 (Taxation).
- CA Final students should skip chapter 16 (Foreign Trade Policy) of section C (Customs and Foreign Trade Policy) for Paper 8 (Indirect Tax Laws). In place of this they need to follow the old syllabus attached in the Appendix at the end of the revised study material. This Appendix includes 8 chapters on VAT and Inter-relationship of accounting.
