CA IPCC May 2013 Topper (1st Rank) Kruti Shah Interview:  CA Toppers Interviews:

·  Kruti B Shah a Mumbaikar, has topped the all India Chartered Accountancy (CA) examination. She is a shy girl with aspirations of pursuing Law after this. She has credited her success to her parents and teachers. A very positive and down to earth girl who is very happy to have this achievement. Let us find out what she has to say

First of all many congratulations to you, Kruti.
Thank you!!
So how are you feeling now after getting 1st rank in CA Final. 
Amazing, feeling like top of the world.
Ok nice!! So, what was your first reaction? 
It was very difficult to believe initially. Then I checked the site again and saw that I have cleared it with a rank. I was at home only with my family and shared the moment with them, the first person I told this is my mother.
So, how important is this for you?
It is the biggest achievement. Nothing can be better than this. It's the biggest milestone that I have ever dreamed to cross.
Now expectations from everywhere must be high.
Ya you are right.
Who guided you in this whole journey and anyone who inspired you?
Everyone- all my teachers and my tutorials, my seniors at my workplace and everyone use to guide me in this whole journey.
Any special name you would like to mention or you would like to thank?
I would definitely thank all my teachers and specially my principal. My family was the one who motivated me. They have always inspired me to work hard and were very supportive.
So, Kruti, how you have achieved this? What was your schedule, time-table and strategy?
Actually, I used to go to the library early morning at 8 o'clock and I used to study till 11 and I used to take a small break, just to keep myself fresh. I have prepared in such a manner that I could get time to revise two times at-least before the day of examination. So, I have planned in such a manner that I could revise and be prepared with all the things before the exams. I never used to count how many number of hours I have spent in a day on study, I used to keep on studying unless I am tired.
It must be varying from day to day according to your mood!!
Ya (smiles)...
Would you suggest some tips on how to prepare for the exams and how to attempt for the exams for your juniors?
Definitely, I would just tell them that never be afraid of whatever is there in the paper. Everything is possible. Even if it is difficult, you can patiently and calmly try and put all your efforts and you will definitely be able to crack it. Panic is something which many times cleans away whatever is there in our mind. And we definitely have mock-test so we can get a glimpse of how to appear in the final exam. So, I would recommend everyone to have mock-test before appearing for the exams.

What is the importance of Articleship, how it fits in the exam?
It definitely does help you in subjects like DT, IDT comes, Articleship comes to a great rescue; like when you do it practically, you get to know more things, you get interest in it. I actually, used to love studying DT, IDT books because we had some practical knowledge, like how actually does the thing happen and studying that one was a great fun. So one should take his/her articleship very seriously, seniors also comes as a great help and guide you in exams.
So, what are you saying is that one should give good number of mock tests before appearing for examination?
Not much but atleast if possible, once or twice; so that one can have an idea of in 3 hours how to write a paper, whether you are able to complete and what kind of paper pattern is that. Actually, I got to learn many things from the mock test.
Any hurdles you have faced in this whole journey, you would like to share with us?
Whatever challenges were there, all my friends, my family was always there to support me. It wasn't difficult to come out of it. I think I am blessed for having such a great family as well as friends and teachers around me.
So, what is your next plan after this?
Actually, I am planning to do LLB.
That's really interesting because in the past we have interacted with previous toppers but none of them have showed their interest in Law after CA.
Ya, I have already applied at GLC, Mumbai. Have not planned yet that what I will do after that, may be will go in corporate law or something but right now I am concentrating on law.
Interesting!! Rank No. 1 and Rank No. 2, both are from Mumbai so how does it feel?
It feels great when we see that Mumbai is having toppers and we can prove that Mumbai students are bright. Usually, it is from Chennai or from somewhere else we feel that ranks will come from there, but from past 2 years it's from Mumbai so we feel great.
So, do you have any message for the aspiring CA students?
Just do your best and leave the rest for God to decide. He will definitely give you what you what you want.
Thanks a lot Kruti for your time, now we would wish you for the celebrations. Once again congratulations and all the best for your future!
Thank you!!

ICAI organises the CA Exams that starts from the first 4 days of May to 20th May. But there may be some amendments in the Exam Dates of CA Final Exams of May 2014 due to Lok Sabha Elections. Still, the ICAI has not yet announced any press release or notification related to the Exam Dates of CA Final May 2014 Exams.

These sections contain enabling provisions for electronic filing of annexure-less return of income. Likewise, for promoting electronic filing of annexure-less return of net wealth, new sections 14A and 14B have been inserted in the Wealth-tax Act, 1957 in line with sections 139C and 139D of the Income-tax Act, 1961.

TDS will be deducted at the rate of 1% of the sales consideration amount of immovable property if the sales consideration of such property exceeds RS. 50 Lakhs. Section 194-IA applies all immovable properties other than Agricultural land.
In case of transfer of immovable property by a non-resident, the TDS provisions under section 195 are attracted in the hands of the transferee. However, in case of transfer of immovable property by residents, there is no requirement to deduct tax at source, the only exception being a case of compulsory acquisition of immovable property (other than agricultural land) in respect of which tax deduction is required under section 194LA.


For the twin purposes of having a reporting mechanism of transactions in the real estate sector and also collecting tax at the earliest point of time, new section 194-IA has been inserted to require every transferee responsible for paying any sum as consideration for transfer of immovable property (land, other than agricultural land, or building or part of building) to deduct tax, at the rate of 1% of such sum, at the time of credit of such sum to the account of the resident transferer or at the time of payment of such sum to a resident transferer, whichever is earlier.

(ii) The rebate shall be equal to the amount of income-tax payable on the total income for any assessment year or an amount of  Rs. 2,000, whichever is less.

Further, every individual having total income above Rs. 2,20,000 but not exceeding  Rs. 5,00,000 shall get a tax relief of Rs. 2,000.

The gross total income of Mr. X, a resident aged 30 years, for the P.Y.2013-14 comprises of salary Rs. 5,05,000 and interest on savings bank Rs.8,000. Compute his tax liability for the A.Y.2014-15, assuming that he has deposited Rs. 50,000 in public provident fund.  
Solution:

 Less: Deductions under Chapter VIA
          Section 80C (deposit in PPF)                    Rs.  50,000
            Section 80TTA (interest on savings bank account)  Rs. 8,000 
            Total Income                                        Rs.     4,55,000

            Tax on total income@10% of  Rs. 2,55,000 ( Rs. 4,55,000 – 2,00,000) = Rs. 25,500
             Less: Rebate under section 87A                   Rs. 2,000
