Girish Ahuja and Vinod Singhania are also one of the best books... Before u buy, borrow from ur collagaeu or friends or seniors or employer the old edition and just study any unknown topic and access they are convenient for u...

Pls read only one book, otherwise it will create a lot of confusion.

Thanks,

If you are willing to refer 2 books then go for Vinod Singhania for chapters other than assessment procedure and for assessment procedure go for Manoharan. For wealth tax guptas books is good as it explians in a good manner

And if you want everything under one roof and study for passing in exams and score more than 50 ofcourse then go for manoharan only

Is it good to study from Dr. Girish Ahuja Sir Direct Taxes when no other option is available. Also is the material provided by Sir sufficient or should i go for additional author Books like Vinod Gupta Sir, Vinod Singhania

You are in CA Final therefore, can easily understand the tax law sections, therefore author of the book doesn't matter, just take any of the best seller tax books like, VK Singania, TN Manoharan, Girish Ahuja etc.. You can also go thru Bangad's Book..

I will suggest to purchase a book which your friends also have, so that you can discuss on critical explainations, if any.

I think you should go for viniod gupta sir's modules bbecause they are self explanatory and if you want to get good marks than its undoubtedely the best.This includes memorandum explaining finance bills analysis which will give you the clear understanding of the provisions.I am referring vinod singhania also but it does not give that clarity which i get from vinod gupta sir books.Refer it you will have no regrets.
