More Details

Corporate & Other Laws – CRACKER is the dedicated question-and-answer companion to the CA-Intermediate | Group I – Paper 2, built for the rehearsal and revision stage rather than first-time concept building. It converts the full examinable syllabus into solved, exam-ready questions, organised section-by-section beneath each chapter so practice tracks the exact provision being tested. The two-volume design mirrors the two halves of the assessment—the descriptive (subjective) component and the objective component (independent MCQs plus integrated case studies)—allowing a candidate to rehearse both answer writing and rapid application against the same syllabus spine.

The Present Publication is the 7th Edition, authored by CA. Pankaj Garg, with the following noteworthy features:

  • [Section-Anchored Organisation] Within each chapter, questions sit under numbered sub-topics tied to the specific statutory provisions they test, so practice maps directly onto the section being revised

  • [Point-Wise Descriptive Answers] Every subjective solution is broken into discrete, scannable points, engineered for fast recall and for reproducing structured, marks-friendly answers

  • [Explained MCQ Keys] Objective answers are supplied with supporting reasoning, not as bare letters, so a wrong attempt becomes a learning point

  • [Dual Indexing] Questions are arranged both topic-wise (concept-focused study) and attempt-wise (to trace how a provision has been examined over successive sittings)

  • [Current Question Base] Drawn from past examinations, RTPs and MTPs up to and including the May 2026 cycle

  • [Weightage Visibility] Separate chapter-wise marks-distribution matrices for the descriptive and MCQ formats expose high-yield areas at a glance

  • [Latest Solved Paper] The May 2026 paper is reproduced with suggested answers in both volumes
