This Interim Budget is a pretty good start to the new year. From student's perspective, it has minimal changes which are easy to learn and also, the fact that a CA presented the budget is motivating enough to make every student study more and more.

Those who have exams coming in 2019 are advised to not spend too much time on the budgets announced in 2019 since amendments by them do not apply to your exam.

Let's see what the post election budget has in store for us. Happy learning! Jai Hind!
Answer to Q36 is (b). As per Circular No. 28/2016, a person having his birthday on 1st April of any year is said to have attained the succeeding age on 31st March itself. As a result, Mr. A will be said to have achieved the age of 60 on 31/03/19 only, i.e. in PY 18-19
From today onwards, I'll make you practice MCQs based on amendments by Finance Act 2018. All the best!
