Confused about Direct tax book

Chirag M Desai (.) (350 Points)

I bought two books for Direct Tax i.e. Manoharan and Padhuka

I find Manoharan is good in lucid style of writing.

Whereas Padhuka is better in presentation.

Please help me which book should I follow as the main book and which should I consider for reference when confused?

I am doing self study because there are no classes in my city.

Take any book dear. All the books are good, if you have good command over the text, as Income Tax Act contains the sections. Do more and more practical questions and learn the sections. If you will keep on taking advices, it will just confuse you. So buy any book, either Girish Ahuja or Manoharan or Singhania. All are renowned authors. If you are going for first time to read the tax then go for any book. If you have read tax earlier also in Bcom or somewhere else, then I will suggest you to go for the book by same author whom you already have read

Chirag..

books also depend on students own ability..i mean Sanjhi Agrawal followed Vinod gupta n managed 80 +marks..but that book is too vast n not at all good for revision..an average student may find bangar or tn manoharan better..no book gurantee u success..it depends on HOW U READ IT N NOT WHAT U READ IT..
