I HAVE DONE SO MUCH ANALYSIS ON THIS, SO I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU.
IDT PAPER = 116 MARKS( INCLUDING OPTION)
SERVICE TAX = 36
VAT = 13
EXCISE = 44
CUSTOM = 23
BUT FURTHER DISTRIBUTIOB IS LIKE THAT:-
(1) SERVICE TAX
SERVICES (PRACTICAL ) = 14
SERVICES (THEORY) = 5
OTHER PORTION = 17
(2) EXCISE & CUSTOM
APPEAL, REFUND, REVISION, PENALTY, SETTLEMENT COMMISSION = 18 MARKS
VALUATION = 13 MARKS
OTHER TOPICS = 36 MARKS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HERE I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU HOW TO GIVE YOUR TIME TO STUDY IDT TO SECURE GOOD MARKS.
MANY PEOPLE GIVE THEIR MOST OF TIME TO SERVICES WHICH IS ONLY 19 MARKS. IF WE HAVE CHOISE IN EXAM, THEN WE CAN DO OTHER TOPICS WELL .
MANY PEOPLE DON CONSIDER COMMON TOPICS( APPEAL etc.) WHICH CONTAIN 18 MARKS AND THE PORTION OF THIS TOPICS IS LESS THAN 40% OF SERVICES PORTION.
SO, CONSIDER THE ABOVE CALCULATION FOR YOUR EXAM.
NOT TO DROP ANY THING, BUT DO WELL WHICH ARE MORE SIMPLE AND SMALL.
BEST OF LUCK.
