Hi Friends ! My preparations r 100 % based on self study.

I have to buy either Singhania or Girish Ahuja for IPCC Tax. I wud be grateful if someone who has gone thru both can compare their '+ ves' & ' - ves' for me.

Coverage Singhania should cover fully the topic taking all illustrations and cases

Girish Ahuja if you can read few sentence you can easily understand.

Thanx Krishna ! By the way what do u mean by "...can understand standard English.." I have read a lot ranging from Conan Doyle to Bernard Shaw . Hope Singhania's English is not on a higher plane than their's !!

It wud be extremely useful if u can be specific abt their relative strengths/weaknesses.

I prefer singhania because it has standard and correct usage of english, which is required in exams. As u have mentiioned those author names, tat standard of english is sufficient to read Singhania. And this book has got lots of illustrations to do..Each section is explained by point-wise which is easy to understand and remember..If you are able to be perfect abt the theory and practicals given in Singhania book, then undoubtedly there are chances that you can score atleast 75 above..Hope this will suffice your query..All d best..
