You can first finish with sources of income bcuz that forms a base for income tax & takes relatively more time.Once that is done,go thru idt.

Some ppl also suggest to first finish up idt as it is scoring & takes less time to complete as compared to dt.Its entirely upto you.Also ur study plan depends on which book ur referring.For manoharan evn 7 hours per day for 20 days is sufficient to complete & revise ur syllabus.

All the best & hope you succeed! :)

i strongly suggest u focus on indirect tax, as it is scoring and requires at the most 5 days to study if u study morning to night.

u can score 45/50 in indirect if u use moh. rafi's book or attend his one week crash course.

for direct tax - DO NOT USE INSTI BOOK its confusing.

direct tax cannot be done last min.

jus revise what u know in direct tax and study indirect. u will scrape through.

I would suggest you to buy the latest Singhania and do the Indirect Tax section PERFECTLY. Every minute spent after it is worth the time. In the Direct Taxes part, do ALL the small chapters like House Property, Other Sources, Set-Off Carry Fwd of losses, Clubbing of Income, Basic Concepts,Residential status & Scope of Income PERFECTLY again!

All this is the really simple part and will help you score majority of your marks like how Abraham Maslow puts it - 20% of the effort yielding 80% of the results.

Salaries, Capital Gains, Business and Profession are HUGE. I suggest you do Capital Gains and Business Inc reasonably well (especially from Final CA point of view). Salaries, TDS etc is largely mugging up (something which I didnt like so didnt focus on but still managed a 76 in Taxation in PCC which had just 25 marks of Indirect Tax :P)

All the best :)
