HI Harinath,
First of all you need to decide where you want to be in near Future. If looking for practice, Only CFM is good (Knowledgewise) and other two are not appropriate at all. If thinking for job outside India then US CFA and CIMA are good. In India Indian CFA is good. Now decision is Urs..

My suggestion is that u concentrate on CA and B.com.,
Then decide to be in practice or job?
If going for Job in India or Abroad?
If opting for abroad decide USA or Other countires.
In USA CFA is in good demand till now. After fall of Lehman Bros etc., I don't think it will be a wise decision to go for US job other than software.
If you want to be in job other than US then go for CIMA.
Finally if you want to go for a job in mutual fund / financila institutions in India go for CFA from ICFAI. But mind u, ICFAI has got no accredition even in India.
Think twice as all the 3 courses are costlier and very much hard work is required.
If u complete your CA first, you will have a good platform. More over for Indian CAs certain exemptions are available in CIMA.
Make a wise decision.
All the best
