Group 1 CA Inter Jan 2027 books are out of stock on ICAI CDS after syllabus change. Will they restock later

I recently started preparing for CA Inter and wanted to ask if ICAI study material alone is enough to clear the exams with good marks, or should I buy additional reference books? If yes, which books/faculty would you recommend for each subject?

Would appreciate advice from seniors and recent qualifiers. Thanks!

Hey everyone, cleared Foundation in 2026 and preparing for CA Inter Jan 2027.

I'm stuck in a massive dilemma due to the upcoming Income Tax Act 2025 transition:

• Jan 2027: Old Tax Act applies.
• May 2027 onwards: New Tax Act 2025 kicks in (total overhaul, 536 sections, no AY/PY, restructured TDS).

The Risk: If I target Both Groups in Jan 27 but fail Group 1, my entire Direct Tax prep resets. "Unlearning" the old law and studying the new one under exam pressure sounds like a nightmare.

What is the best strategy right now?

Go for Both Groups: Take the risk, use the "set-off" advantage, and try to clear in one shot. or

1. Group 1 Only: Focus 100% on G1 to kill the tax transition risk completely.
2. Group 2 Only in Jan and group 1 in may but start study now

what should i do ??
