As students need to understand the pulse of the examiner, as academicians we give a rehearsal about the examination to the students through this blog.
Question paper pattern of 2021 CA exam
Complete the subjects which require less time first and then start the subjects which demand more time. If the preparation strategy is as per the marks and the difficulty level then it becomes easy to score high marks. Objective type questions increase the marks with less effort. So, focusing on multiple-choice questions first is good to score the required marks. Advanced auditing and professional ethics, risk management, financial services and capital markets, international taxation, economic law, global financial reporting standards, multidisciplinary case study, direct tax laws and international taxation exam, and indirect tax law are the papers with MCQ pattern. So, preparing these increase marks but is valued with negative marking.
International tax, economics and indirect tax are the subjects that require knowledge and application of knowledge. Corporate law, Global financial reporting standards, and direct tax are the subject which requires knowledge, application and analysis. Let me check the details of these papers as they require more time for preparation. Transfer price, Indian statutory regime Rule 44g, nonresident taxation, double taxation, e-commerce with Indian scenario and global scenario, Levy, anti-avoidance measures, Action plan 15, and MLI are some of the topics which have amendments. So, it is easy to understand the changes with the help of the old books and new books.
Under Economic law topics added as per the new syllabus are World trade organization, competition act, Real estate act, prevention of money laundering act, insolvency and bankruptcy code, foreign exchange management, and property act. These topics need to be revised with the updated syllabus for the ICAI CA final examination 2021. Under direct tax amalgamations, foreign collaboration agreements, tax management, TDS, TCS, personnel compensation, inter-relationship of taxation, compliances with taxation laws, and tax relief are topics that require more focus. In Global financial reporting standards topis which require focus as per the new syllabus are IFRS, GAAPs, and international financial reporting standards. Under indirect tax topics such as GST, CGST, IGST, penalties, other provisions, revision, recovery, time and value of supply, and input tax credit need to be revised with a new syllabus. The question paper will be based on the new syllabus as the amendments are incorporated with the new syllabus.
